I can only set the ssid with ifconfig. I tried a transfer of a large file and got 1.5MB/sec rates actual rates using scp. The only problem at the moment is that I cannot use WEP with my AirPort Extreme. I tried to use the "hex" 128bit key provided by the MAC airport utitlities. This key works fine for the mac and for the WPC54G card under WINDOWS 2000, but does not work with the driver on FreeBSD. The "correct" key is set (as viewed by both ifconfig and wicontrol) but the station does not associate. I have tried turning WEP on using both ifconfig (wepmode on) and the hw.ndis0.WEP sysctl which is constructed by the driver. As far as I can tell no errors are reported when I "up" the device using ifconfig. Anyway, the current state is quite remarkable. Great job! Regards, George Dinolt
