When retesting tonight with 8.1_release (new iso downloaded) there was no problem. It is safe to assume that I had a corrupted copy of RC2 which was not downloaded as an iso, rather upgraded from 8.0 via cvsup. Perhaps I received mismatched versions of some files. Unfortunately I no longer have the exact same code set to test. Below are the config files requested ----------------------------------------- # /boot/loader.conf #Nothing relevant... # /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_ath0="up" wlans_ath0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" # /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf network={ ssid="nw-ds" bssid=00:02:6f:3a:d5:10 key_mgmt=NONE wep_tx_keyidx=0 wep_key0=xxxxxx }
