Do I interpret this correctly as that it is unsupported, now, to do something like `ifconfig ndis0 up`? In my present configuration, I can do: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ndis0 ifconfig ndis0 up ... and get a useable connection, but: ifconfig ndis0 up gives me a panic (hand transcribed) Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode ndis_setstate_80211 ndis_init ndis_ioctl ifhwioctl ifioctl soo_ioctl kernl_ioctl syscall Hm, the second argument to ifhwioctl is 0xffffffff and the third is 0 ... Feel free to tell me to stop shooting myself in the foot, but I think a more graceful failure mode would be nice. This with -current supped on Sat Apr 26 18:39:13 EDT Thanks for any hints, Ben Kaduk
