    Hi,

    I've just install the 6.0Beta2 to test the new WPA-PSK functionality.
    Regarding this,
    I have 2 questions.

    1) The signal strength is quite different between drivers. (ath vs ndis).
       - The signal is much stronger when I use the ndis drivers. Why ?

    2) The wpa-psk works perfectly when I use the ath(4) driver and it doesn't work
       with the ndis(4) drivers. When I use wpa_supplicant I get this (from dmesg)

       ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
       ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:0f:b5:5d:52:2f
       ndis0: failed to get bssid
       ndis0: setting encryption status to ENC2 failed

       Here's the specs and configurations:

    ==> uname

       device = 'AR5212, AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter'
       class = network
       subclass = ethernet

    ==> wpa_supplicant.conf

    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    ctrl_interface_group=wheel
    network={
