This works if the card that you have has Firmware 6.xx or higher. There was a problem in the 4.xx firmware which would not allow IBSS mode to work. What you cannot do with the BSD box is bridging. I'm trying to figure out if you want to do bridging since WEP offers no practical security but that's another issue. -- Chris Hilton chilton-at-vindaloo-dot-com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "All I was doing was trying to get home from work!" -- Rosa Parks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
