I have just started trying to use wi(4) on an Apple laptop with an
access point.  I don't have much to compare it to, but it seems work
fine in OS/X.  It works better in NetBSD if I disable powersave mode.
With powersave enabled, I can ping, but not ftp/ssh/etc.  Or rather,
I can, but it seems that only the first bit of data gets transferred.
Is powersave supposed to work differently?  There's next to no
documentation on it in ifconfig(8).  I also notice that the AP is
racking up errors, but that seems to be happening at some rate with
OS/X, too--hard to tell if it's the same rate, though.
