But when I follow instructions from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html and trying to set up wireless access point many commands recommended in the handbook fail, for example: > ifconfig ral0 ssid freebsdap wepmode on weptxkey 3 wepkey 3:0x3456789012 mode 11g mediaopt hostap inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 > ifconfig: inet: bad value This is not a show-stopper but a serious usability issue. People who follow Handbook will fail miserably. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:help
