Hello everybody! I'm with a FreeBSD 7.2-release on a HP Compaq nc6400; we have plenty of these notebooks at disposal, at a very reasonable price, so... The card is recognized by the system, but I've got a question-issue: Is there a way to operate the device in ibss/adhoc mode? The manpage says bss is default, but it doesn't tell us how to switch to p2p mode; I haven't found no useful posts on this. In the handbook various commands issue a "mediaopt adhoc", but "adhoc", it doesn't appear as a valid opt value for the mediaopt option, for this driver. The problem is that I can't put in work the device as a wep-authenticated peer, nor with ifconfig, nor with wpa_supplicant (network entry is fine and mode=1, but the ssid is constantly skipped: skip - IBSS (adhoc) etc...) as I suspect I can't set it in ad-hoc mode. tia! -- Riccardo "reim aka riQui" Vincelli - http://reim.webhop.net - http://www.facebook.com/riccardo.vincelli
