wpi not working on 11b

hi,

since vlan came in i can't connect to any 11b network anymore using the
intel wireless card with the wpi driver and i can't figure out where
the problem is...
has anyone else experienced the same problem?

my "access point / router" is a notebook running openbsd with a rtw
card which is only capable of 11b mode.

all other modes (11g/11a) work fine so far with different aps i tested,
so it must have something to do with the vlan support and wpi driver i
think.

here are some details:

my notebook is an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet running 8.0 current:
