Always persisting to help improving FreeBSD. Another odd thing I noticed 
today:
When dual-booting Windows on the same machine and doing a warm-reboot 
from Windows to FreeBSD,
you _do_ get a link with the procedure I described yesterday.. So there 
seems to be some setting which is lost
after cold-boot or some EEPROM setting which is changed somehow.

I completly forgot about the issue until now, after I noticed it some 
time ago when being overworked. :-(
The situation just does not occur very often in times of wireless LAN / 
Docking Stations. :-)
