: Warner, I applied the patch and no change.

marcel's patch, or my patch?

: How does one specify the commands in the ifconfig interface?
: This is what I used to invoke from /etc/rc.local:
: 
: /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -n kuku
: /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -p 1
: /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -c 1
: /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -s bgate
: ifconfig wi0 192.168.254.1 netmask 255.255.255.0  

(assuming that you are using a real access point, or a freebsd server
in hostap mode):

ifconfig wi0 192.168.254.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid kuku stationname \
	 bgate media DS/11Mbps

If you are trying to do a IBSS network, and are running 5.x, you'd
want to do something like:

ifconfig wi0 192.168.254.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid kuku stationname \
	 bgate media DS/11Mbps mediaopt adhoc		   [*]

and

ifconfig wi0 192.168.254.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid kuku stationname \
	 kukulap media DS/11Mbps mediaopt adhoc		   [*]

[*] adhoc is spelled ibss-create on 4.x
