(I'm not a programmer in any way what so ever, so I can only guess someone fixed something, as previously I could not get it to work on -p any_value except 0) I'm not running any sort of access point, nor am I running any type of dhcp client. I actually got the card to see if I could setup an access point of sorts, but only seem to be able to run it in adhoc mode (which is fine as I only have 1 other card, for my laptop, so peer to peer is fine, and the bsd box does the routing). Probably the wrong list, but does anyone know offhand how to force the DWL 650 pci card to work in bss mode rather then adhoc. -----Original Message----- From: M.

My 650 works great by typing a simple "dhclient wi0" and nothing else. I'm having some minor issues with -current and the air-tools functionality. I think that somehow wi_cmd is getting entered multiple times when dstumbler is running, but haven't had the time to track that down....
