what version are you using? I've used dstumbler on
4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #14: Wed Dec 18 07:53:23 PST 2002
with wi driving a Lucent Orinoco card without any problems, and it works
fine (dwepdump doesn't seem to work with that card, but that's a different
problem).
wi also auto-associates for me. FWIW, though, I've yet to discover a
wireless network in an airport. :-)
