Thanks for the suggestion, but these are open APs. No WEP, TKIP, or anything else. Nothing at all fancy about the rc.conf. Just ifconfig_wi0="DHCP". It's about a simple as it gets. I'm planning on trying the wpa_supplicant to see if that works better, but I won't get a chance until I get back to Berkeley. I'm not sure that if_wi has all of the required stuff for the supplicant to work, either. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
