Ok, I hadn't tried this before - because it didn't work - figured out the 
problem was an x86_64 kernel with i386 wireless-tools utilities (so 
reinstalled the 64-bit utilities).
Now, it works, we'll see if it helps.

I've been using madwifi-3421 (and various other versions before that) on 
an smp 64-bit kernel.

I'm assuming the -dfs shouldn't affect this?  Anyway, if the bgscan 
doesn't help I'll try the specific version you pointed out.

Thanks,
Maciej
