Ah, I found the solution with Don Google... I have now in CURRENT to do: # ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 # /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start wlan0 or via /etc/rc.conf: wlans_ath0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" and the interface wlan0 comes up fine and get in my home office the IP with DHCP; will test this the other day in the Wifi zone where RELENG_7 does not get IP with DHCP; thx so far; matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/
