problems experienced with wi driver ?

[Michael Sierchio]

The problem:

	FreeBSD 4.9 client node cannot associate with AP
	when authmode is set to SHARED, only OPEN.

	Both client and AP are FreeBSD 4.9, using the same
	Netgear MA401 prism-based wireless card with the
	same firmware rev.  The Base station is set to
	HostAP mode.

	The same client hardware, when booted in XP, associates
	without difficulty in either SHARED or OPEN authmode.

Any comments?  Suggestions on gathering more detail for
diagnosis?  Can you reproduce this?

Cheers,

Michael
