Hi, After reading UPDATING, I see 8.x WLAN support is quite different, i.e.: ifconfig wlan create wlandev ath0 whilst this works, all I have is an 802.11b AP. The box just won't associate. Whilst I tried 'ifconfig wlan0 channel any:b', this gets further, ie both the parent and child devices wlan0/ath0 show as being in mode 11b. However scan results still only show 802.11g/a APs. Can anyone shed further light on this? I know that 802.11b sucks, but there's a lot of it out there, and it just needs to work. thanks BMS
