I didn't see any for this specific model on dlink's website, and I wasn't sure if firmware from elsewhere would hose my card. > It helps to give the full and actual command that you are using.

I was using the default ssid of 'FreeBSD IBSS' for testing, which apparently doesn't work. Sorry for being unclear about what exactly I was doing, I'll be sure to give full commands next time I'm asking RTFM questions =) > Have I MFC'd the wi manual yet? You sure did. I feel pretty foolish for struggling with this for the past couple of days when a simple `man wi` would have given me the answer. I do still have one odd problem: I'm getting this message a lot on my console: "XXX: host encrypt not implemented for 802.3". The error message does not seem to coincide with network traffic. This is how I'm setting up the hostap now: kldload if_wi kldload bridge sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="wi0 fxp0" sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1 ifconfig wi0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid foo stationname bar wepkey 0x01234567890123456789012345 wepmode on powersave channel 10 mediaopt hostap Thanks again, -jre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
