Is there any error in the command I am using? This system was updated to 8-STABLE a couple of weeks back. Additionally, the wpi man page mentions that it only permits one virtual interface at a time. Is this a h/w limitation? If not, will support for multiple interfaces be added? Regards Gautham Ganapathy
