I tried this in rc.conf:
ifconfig_rum0="wlan create wlandev rum0 10.0.0.1/24 wlanmode hostap ssid
CITYOFFICE wepmode on wepkey 0xf00baaf00baa weptxkey 1 channel 1"
I got this:
rum0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
ether 00:11:50:cb:52:10
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <adhoc>
(autoselect <adhoc>)
status: no carrier
Why "no carrier"?
And I would expect more info on the interface like SSID and such.
