I think I was the only one in thread who used FreeBSD as an AP, also that was before 7.x when I made the log. So I'm not saying it's FreeBSD specific problem, I don't even think it's a BSD problem, but perhaps some kind of incompatibility and I was hoping for some workaround. > Unlikely.

Since the phone was rooted I changed settings and disabled WME on the phone. I associated it and it worked. Now there's a weird thing that I don't really get. After I saw that phone was working with WME disabled, I went back and changed it to the way it originally was, I also restarted the phone. To my surprise the phone continued to work (with WME enabled), and I still don't understand why. Perhaps it stored some information necessary? I think I'll deassociate the phone and make it forget the AP and see if it works. -- Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda@takeda.tk You know it's love when you memorize her IP number to skip DNS overhead
