List,

Hi.

I use following setting for my wireless networking enviroment:

    ifconfig_wlan0="mode 11g bssid my:bssid wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x1111111111 DHCP"

But I don't like DHCP and want to use static ip, so I tried:

    ifconfig_wlan0="mode 11g bssid my:bssid wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x1111111111 inet 192.168.1.144  netmask 255.255.255.0"

But the setting makes BSD networking not working anymore, and when the
system starts up, there's an error message:

    ifconfig: inet: bad value

What's wrong? How to use static ip in my wireless networking?
