WICONTROL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual WICONTROL(8) NAME wicontrol - configure WaveLAN/IEEE devices ... [-i] iface -m mac_address Set the station address for the specified interface. The mac_address is specified as a series of six hexadecimal values separated by colons, e.g., ``00:60:1d:12:34:56''. This programs the new address into the card and updates the interface as well. Yup, mac address filtering is even less useful than WEP. At least WEP takes *some* effort to crack. ;^) /me wanders off whistling the 'end to end encryption' theme song... -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?" Wes Peters wes@softweyr.com
