I can't establish a connection with ifconfig and dhclient. The wifi card is the original Apple Airport (not the Extreme edition). For testing purposes, I have disabled encryption (WPA). >How-To-Repeat: In /boot/loader.conf: if_wi_load="YES" On the command line: # ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wi0 up wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:10:... # ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:10:... inet6 fe80::210:c6ff:fe6a:78ff%wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 nd6 options=21 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11b status: associated ssid "" channel 0 (0 MHz) bssid 00:10:... country US authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 0 bmiss 7 ucastrate 0 mcastrate 0 mgmtrate 0 maxretry 0 scanvalid 60 bintval 0 # ifconfig wlan0 scan # (Scan doesn't work; there are several networks in reach.

So maybe code from their wi module can be used. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
