I've used dstumbler on 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #14: Wed Dec 18 07:53:23 PST 2002 with wi driving a Lucent Orinoco card without any problems, and it works fine (dwepdump doesn't seem to work with that card, but that's a different problem). wi also auto-associates for me. FWIW, though, I've yet to discover a wireless network in an airport. :-) chris ------------------------------- Chris Doherty chris [at] randomcamel.net "I think," said Christopher Robin, "that we ought to eat all our provisions now, so we won't have so much to carry." -- A.
