The meta-point about your firmware may bite you is worth repeating however many times.

However, it is in wicontrol -C only, not in the normal >wicontrol output. wicontrol -C was intended for ad hoc mode. Which one could argue that the IEEE has more or less made defunct. ... but I digress. wicontrol has Comms quality/signal/noise which works fine in managed mode. Else wscan would have a hard time ... It doesn't work in any ad-hoc mode. Jim Binkley (i think) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
