I've configured my card like this: ifconfig_ath0="inet xx.xx.xx.xx netmask xx.xx.xx.xx ssid XXX channel 6 mode 11b media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap powersavesleep 1 wepmode on wepkey blah" Small question: I don't know why, but a low "powersavesleep" enhances my WLAN power. This is the only way I manage to establish a connection from 1 meter distance (at 30-40%). Default 1000 will not work at all. Btw, Is it important to set sysctl hw.ath.countrycode? Where do I find a table of valid codes? (But this is not a FreeBSD issue, in my opinion. MS-Windows seems to have problems with the connectivity, too, even after selecting the proper country. We don't have any other wireless networks here. Earlier, I've had a second wireless card with wi-chipset which had same problems with connectivity in this area.) Because of the problem described above, 11g does not work at all, even with lower speeds than the one currently used. Martin
