https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163455 --- Comment #6 from John Nielsen <john@jnielsen.net> --- The "bssid" parameter does indeed work on 10-STABLE and 11-CURRENT (and probably earlier?). I do seem to recall that the order of ifconfig parameters makes a difference, though. Since opening this ticket I have changed my rc.conf to have "bssid" at the beginning of the relevant lines instead of at the end and it has been working fine for some time. Excerpt from working rc.conf: wlans_ath1="wlan1 wlan3" create_args_wlan1="bssid wlanmode hostap mode 11g channel 1:ht/40+" create_args_wlan3="bssid wlanmode hostap mode 11g channel 1:ht/40+" Excerpt from ifconfig output: wlan1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1b:b1:5d:XX:YY wlan3: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 06:1b:b1:5d:XX:YY Note the difference in the first octet of the MAC address: '00' for wlan1 and '06' for wlan3. AFAIK this bug can be closed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
