Don't use wicontrol at all, you don't need it. If you really believe you must, 
use it BEFORE ifconfig like it tells you in the wi(4) man page.

Don't force the rate (to DS11) - it is counter productive on an AP.

So it's working fine.

Just looks like a simple config problem on your MS boxen to me. You're right 
about tcpdump, it's not really useful in this case. Use ifconfig's debug 
option instead.
