Hi Thomas, I was trying to make the Linux changes into the FreeBSD driver too, but didn't came very far. I am using the latest getch of your hostap code. It works great. I am using SMC 2632 cards. I am trying to bridge the wi interface to the fxp interface with ng_bridge, but it doesn't seems to work. I was under the impression the hostap setting would made it possible to send frames with other src MACs to the wire-less lan. My goal is to make a true Access Point/Bridge. Did you experiment with this too. Peter On Thursday 28 February 2002 22:41, Thomas Skibo wrote: > I've been hacking up an implementation of "Host AP" support on FreeBSD > 4.5.
