Ok, thanks. I can live with running 6.0 on my laptop.

I changed my mind about the transmit power again, though. The windows 
driver consistently has a higher data rate (54Mbps when bsd has 18Mbps, 
ignoring turbo mode), and it works through walls, where the freebsd 
driver doesn't. I guess I might as well /try/ the ndisulator. It can't 
hurt, except to hard hand my laptop, I guess.
