The strange thing is, I've got that: > ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.18.2/24 ssid 'vtec' mode 11g mediaopt hostap channel > 9 chanlist '1-11' -powersave pureg hidessid wepmode on -apbridge -wme ..." (removed a bunch of mac:add entries at the end) in my /etc/rc.conf. After I've manually set the interface into hostap mode, the device was defaulting to channel 36 (11a mode). After manually correcting hostap and 11g mode, everything now works fine again. I'm wondering if there has been something changed at initializing the ath device? Greetings, Volker
