    I tried that:

        genius# ifconfig iwi0 up
        genius# ifconfig iwi0
        iwi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
                inet6 fe80::20e:35ff:fe38:1e14%iwi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
                ether 00:0e:35:38:1e:14
                media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
                status: no carrier
                ssid tao 1:tao
                channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
                rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS txpower 100

    Doesn't make any difference.
