Under 7.0 I got it working with the following command ifconfig rum0 inet 10.0.0.1/24 mediaopt hostap ssid CITYOFFICE wepmode on wepkey 0xf00baf00ba weptxkey 1 channel 1 I tried this but got a socket error "Invalid argument". Then I tried (from an example in the rum (4) manpage):ifconfig wlan create wlandev rum0 10.0.0.1/24 mediaopt hostap CITYOFFICE wepmode on wepkey 0xf00baaf00baa weptxkey 1 channel 1 and got: wlan0 ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured But suddenly the wlan0 device is there. Can anybody fill me in? -- Christoph
