!Have you tried ! !wicontrol wi0 -l Sorry about the earlier note -- the coffee hadn't kicked in yet... wicontrol wi0 -l for either card reports "0 stations" with one powered & sitting less than 4 meters away. A quick look at the man page for wicontrol(1) further suggested "wicontrol wiX -L". For the Lucent-based MiniPCI card (wi0) we get: NIC serial number: [ ] Station name: [ FreeBSD WaveL ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ ] Current netname (SSID): [ ] Desired netname (SSID): [ ] Current BSSID: [ 00:00:00:00:00:00 ] Channel list: [ 7ff ] IBSS channel: [ 10 ] Current channel: [ 65535 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 0 0 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Process 802.11b Frame: [ Off ] Intersil-Prism2 based card: [ 0 ] Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc): [ 1 ] MAC address: [ 00:02:2d:xx:xx:xx ] TX rate (selection): [ 0 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 0 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2312 ] Create IBSS: [ Off ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=on, 0=off): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ Off ] TX encryption key: [ 1 ] Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ] Available APs: 0 stations: SSID BSSID Chan SN S N Intrvl Capinfo For the Prism2-based PCCARD (wi1) we get: NIC serial number: [ ] Station name: [ FreeBSD WaveL ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ ] Current netname (SSID): [ ] Desired netname (SSID): [ ] Current BSSID: [ 00:00:00:00:00:00 ] Channel list: [ 7ff ] IBSS channel: [ 11 ] Current channel: [ 65535 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 0 0 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Process 802.11b Frame: [ Off ] Intersil-Prism2 based card: [ 1 ] Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc): [ 1 ] MAC address: [ 00:90:d1:xx:xx:xx ] TX rate (selection): [ 0 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 0 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2312 ] Create IBSS: [ Off ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=on, 0=off): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ Off ] TX encryption key: [ 1 ] Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ] Available APs: So, what's up with access point discovery in 5.3-R ? -- Gary E.
