Hello This is a patch for which a couple of wi-fi fans have been waiting to get := ) And now it's there, just before Christmas ;) This patch is against FreeBSD 5.1, I didn't have current installed and 5.0 = doesn't work in hostap mode with 1.7.4 firmware. http://wleiden.webweaving.org:8080/svn/node-config/other/enh-sec-patch/ For the enhsec option to work you need a prism 2,2.5,3 with firmware 1.6.3 = or higher. To give a small explaination: It uses a firmware feature: 0xFC43 # wicontrol -i iface -E 0|1|2|3 This sets the WI_RID_CNFENHSECURITY flag.=20 0 =3D "disabled" 1 =3D hide SSID in beacon frames 2 =3D ignore clients with a "ANY" SSID 3 =3D 1 and 2 combined It blocks clients with a "" or "ANY" ssid And disables ssid broadcasting. I checked it today, and it worked, but please do acknowledge the fact that I haven't been able to test this function on a real network, with real data going over the= link. I haven't had the time yet to make it work with ifconfig, so until then, us= e wicontrol. Regards, Roland van Laar
