I've got a -STABLE box with a prism 2.5 minipci card in it that I'm
trying to use in hostap mode.
Following the man page and comments from various places the following
should work;
# ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.10.1 \
stationname "foo" ssid "foo" channel 6 \
media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap up
but on the client end (another -stable box with a similar prism 2.5
minipci) I get no association. Both client and the box I'm trying to
use as a server have the same firmware;
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.01.01, Station 1.07.04
Both boxes work fine as clients, connect perfectly to random basestations
I have in use, so the antennas and such seem to work.
Any hints ? Bad firmware rev for hostap ?
Also, is there any way to go back from hostap to BSS mode other than
rebooting ?
Thanks,
P.
