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
