You have to use -p. There is a bug in the !@#$^ Prism firmware where it
does not answer RTS/CTS in promiscuous mode. The way to get connected
again is to turn off RTS/CTS on your node, ssh in and kill your tcpdump,
and then turn RTS/CTS back on.

Try that. If it doesn't work for you, send a second e-mail to
wireless-alert and I will fix it from my end.

You can turn off RTS/CTS on NetBSD using 'wiconfig wi0 -r 2347'.
Note that wiconfig is on its way out; eventually the command will change
to 'ifconfig wi0 rtsthr 2347'.
