The commit that caused this is=20 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2007-July/226628.html by thompsa.=20 The log says that the ioctls that used to be used by wicontrol were removed. It seems that several applications relied on this interface (even in the case of non-wi cards/chips) probably because this used to be one of the first such interfaces on FreeBSD and then just continued working (TM). Unfortunately some =F6of the affected apps are esentially abandoned (eg wmwifi) so I have no idea if the port maintainer can fix them alone. But it would be nice, because now it is really hard to find any wlan signal monitoring apps for FreeBSD apart from Gnome/KDE applets. --=20 Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary
