Hi, I'm having difficulties connecting to my roommate's apple airport. Following the guide I tried using a fixed IP: ifconfig ath0 10.0.1.5 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid "True That" but got "status: no carrier" and obviously couldn't ping anything. I believe WEP is turned off at the moment as my roommate joins without any password. next I tried the dhcp method from someone in the mailing list. I added these lines to rc.conf then rebooted: ifconfig_ath0="DHCP" ifconfig ath0 ssid "True That" at reboot dhcp wasn't able to pick up any leases and I saw "status: no carrier" on ifconfig ath0. FreeBSD wireless setup is new to me, so I'm probably missing something obvious. The card is a DLink Airplus G and I have the if_ath.ko loading at boot without any problems. Any hints are most appreciated. Thanks, Nathan
