X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 08 Jul 2003 22:29:00 -0000 I have a prism based card (from netgate) running in hostap mode. I have been using firmware 1.5.6, everything worked great. I heard that the new firmware supports disabling the public SSID broadcast similar to what the linksys and d-link AP's can do. I installed version 1.7.4 (on clients and server) and the clients can no longer associate with the server. The clients can still associate to other AP's. I can easily revert to the old firmware, so this is not a critical problem. Is there anything I can do to help support this version of the firmware, or should I just revert to the older version?
