I have both a wireless NIC (wi0) and an ethernet card (ed1) for my laptop. Both are up and running (the laptop via DHCP, FWIW). My wireless network consists of two wireless cards running in ad-hoc mode (one is an Orinoco gold in a workstation, the other a silver in the laptop). On the workstation, I'm trying what man wi says about bridges in order to get "approximately the same functionality as an access point". Namely this: # ifconfig wi0 inet up ssid my_ap mediaopt hostap # sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1 # sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="wi0 rl0" # sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 I get stuck at the first step: # ifconfig wi0 inet up ssid my_ap mediaopt hostap ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured What's up? -- Dan Langille I'm looking for a computer job: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
