I found that if I 'ifconfig wlan0 destroy' followed by 'ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev bwn0' it works. /etc/rc.conf: --- wlans_bwn0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" --- The corollery is that it doesn't work first time on reboot. I need to either '/etc/rc.d/netif restart' and if that panics the machine, destroy wlan0 and then restart netif. Then wlan0/bwn0 associates correctly with this device. Ian -- Ian Freislich
