I used this command to start the hostap mode on the card: /sbin/ifconfig wi0 ssid princenet \ channel 1 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap debug up /sbin/sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="wi0 fxp0" /sbin/sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1 Unfortunatly, the system still panics and reboots. I still feel strongly that this is caused by my neighbor's linksys access point somehow. This is because the config I posted in my first message worked great for days when I was at home and out of town over the break. At home I was in range of my brother's D-Link wireless router (running wep), and I had no problems. Away I was out of range of all other wireless devices. Now back at school, I am in range of this Linksys wireless router (not running wep) and without a doubt within a few minutes of enabling hostap mode, it panics. I dont even have any clients connected, dont even get that far. The only thing I could think of is the Linksys AP must be sending some sort of invalid or unknown broadcast which causes something here to go haywire and cause a panic. Any other thoughts? Anything else I can do or try? Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
