That's me some 3 weeks ago: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=122099826019882&w=2 In short, it's the exact same situation (X31, IPW2100 etc.). As detailed in my original message, there's a sort of workaround: ifconfig ipw0 up first and them try rescanning. Usually works for me, but still need to restart once in a while. Good luck, Ido
