Hi all, I have just upgrade my FreeBSD server from 7 to 8. Everything seems to be working OK, except the Atheros-based wireless network card, which I had configured as an access point and which worked fine under 7 for several years. The command: # ifconfig ath0 up works fine, but anything else returns an error message. For example: # ifconfig ath0 192.168.3.1 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument or this, copied & pasted directly from the FreeBSD Handbook: # ifconfig ath0 ssid freebsdap mode 11g mediaopt hostap inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument Any ideas on what is going on here? ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/can%27t-bring-ath0-up-tp27734134p27734134.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
