Hmm, interesting. I'm using ural(4) as an AP and connect to it via
ipw(4) and simple WEP. It is very unstable and will wedge the AP
(running 6.1) after several minutes.

I can't give you more details, as it is a rather complex setup and I
would have to isolate the problem first (is it WEP, is it bridge(4),
etc.)

Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
Don't know. Don't care.
