Thanks for your help here, it never occurred to me to check the source, I'm still a bit of a newbie at this. Deleted the #if 0...#endif block around the code in if_iwn.c and recompiled. Running it form the console this time and I can see the error "iwn0: IBSS mode not supported" - so it still doesn't seem to be working. I checked over the rest of the source and I don't see anything obvious in the header files either. I think I'm dancing around my limits here, I think I'll just have to find a different way to connect this machine, or just get a usb adapter. Just to make sure I'm on track here, i did a kldunload if_iwn, then ran make, then did a kldload if_iwn - this is the first time for me to recompile a kernel module so I want to make sure I'm not messing this up. It somewhat makes sense for it not to work though, I assume theres a reason it was commented out to begin with. Eddie
