Does the hostap stuff really work ? I : guessed that ``supporting airtools'' meant that if_wi was now capable : of answering some statistics gathering utilities... airtools are tools that let you investigate which : # head -1 /etc/motd : FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT (HAK) #2: Wed Apr 17 07:14:00 BST 2002 : # ifconfig wi0 inet 172.16.10.12 netmask 0xffffff00 mediaopt hostapp : ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured You didn't set a channel, ssid or bring the interface up. You don't need a IP address. Maybe you also have a lucent card, which doesn't support this. You likely didn't setup bridging, and there may be some other issues still with the code. :-) However, having said all that, it doesn't work for me yet under ideal condititions. Something screwey is going on with hostap that I've not been able to track down. Maybe something I screwed up in the merging things into the tree. I don't know. I get 1/2 associated and can't pass any traffic. A friend that I'm working with can pass traffic, but not broadcasts. I don't completely understand this...
