Actually, I think it's because the card you are using has a different set of mappings than the firmware for which the commands were intended, and the driver you are using (wi0) "happens" to work with the card, despite the different firmware. but the "magic" features don't. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
