Yes, that's the "magic" !

Following "ifconfig wi0 up", "wicontrol -i wi0 -l" reports
our local access point directly:

1 station:
ap[0]:
        netname (SSID):                 [ XXXXXX ]
        BSSID:                          [ 00:05:5d:XX:XX:XX ]
        Channel:                        [ XX ]
        Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]:  [ 42 / 100 / 58 ]
                                [dBm]:  [ 42 / -49 / -91 ]
        BSS Beacon Interval [msec]:     [ 90 ]
        Capinfo:                        [ ESS WEP ]

And "dstumbler wi0 -s" appears to work well now, too.

Many thanks for setting me on the right path here !
