Lesson number one: don't tell, show. Don't tell me "it doesn't work."
_Show_ me. Show me the commands you typed. Show me the results you
saw (i.e. error/status messages).
The correct way to set the ssid of your NIC is to do:
# ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid myssid media autoselect up
That's for infrastructure mode, i.e. with an actual AP. If you want
to use ad-hoc mode, do:
# ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid myssid mediaopt adhoc up
You can scan for networks to attach to using:
# wicontrol -i ndis0 -l
You can't set the channel, so don't worry about that for now.
