However, some of these keywords may be mandatory in ifconfig arguments, for example, in : ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.101.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid Winet channel 9 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM54 authmode WPA" The "WPA" is used to mounf the interface using WPA, insead of setting the authmode. >How-To-Repeat: Configure an interface this way : ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.101.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid Winet channel 9 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM54 authmode WPA" Other keywords like DHCP may trigger the problem as well. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
