Jim, Please follow-up with Sam Leffer <sam@FreeBSD.org>, he's merging in efforts from NetBSD, see <http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-sept-2002-oct-2002.html#Wireless-Networking-Status>.

Once this is added to FreeBSD (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think it exists, since dstumbler doesn't work with my Lucent card 6.16.01 f/w), I can trial-n-error various f/w versions to expierment. It would also be nice to play around with IBSS-n-pals.
