If I run these commands one at a time: # ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.1.42 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid My-Network or # ifconfig ral0 inet DHCP ssid My-Network Nothing happens and if I check it with: # ifconfig ral0 I get this: ral0: flags=3D8803 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::ff:fe00:700%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1=20 ether 02:00:00:00:07:00 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid My-Network channel 1 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS status says no carrier I also notice channel 1 when I'm using channel 6 = but I even tried to add the channel to the ifconfig command and still = didn't work. Also where is says ether, I'm assuming this is the MAC = address, is not the right mac address for my wireless card, it should be = 00-08-A1-A4-E0-EC. Right now I'm running a complete open network just = to test this which later on I will use the "Access list" feature in my = router which should not effect it.
