Subject:   wi problem with promiscuous mode

I have a wi card that is used with a base station. We have a netname set
and are using the 'silver' encryption mode. Everything works great
but when I put the card in promiscuous mode, it seems that the card
gets into troubles. Some packets seem not to be sent anymore and some
seem not be received anymore. We compared tcpdumps on 2 laptops
and we haven't figured out which packets are haing these problems though.

I also occasionally get:
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc80/0; last status ffff

I am not sure if that is related though.

Can others verify this? Btw: it seems that the d-link card does not
go into this random problem mode.

The base station is an airport.
