If you do not build kernel modules there are several things to include in 6.0 kernel when you migrate from 5.4. The reason for the error in your case is probably missing wlan_wep device. #5.4 device wlan # 802.11 support device ath device ath_hal #6.0 device wlan # 802.11 support device wlan_wep device ath device ath_hal device ath_rate_onoe And actually, I had to change rc.conf line for my ath card a little bit. For some reason in 6.0 it doesn't work without wepkey number specified. in 5.4 it was: ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.0.99 ssid MirinNET channel 1 wep wepkey 0x000000000000000000000 authmode open" in 6.0 it became ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.0.99 ssid MirinNET channel 1 wep wepkey 0x00000000000000000000 authmode open weptxkey 1" -Nikolay Richard Arends said the following on 06.11.2005 15:15: >On Sun, Nov 06, 2005 at 02:52:23PM -0600, Stephen Montgomery-Smith wrote: > >Stephen, > > > >>You are doing better than me.
