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. Can you build a kernel with debug? : 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. You are the second person to mention this. I've run in a similar setups before, but only by accident.. : 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? Without knowing what the panic is, it is hard to know what to do about it.
