Hmm, you don't say how the SSID is set in rc.conf.local. You have some ordering problems. Setting pccard_ifconfig=DHCP is going to make dhclient fire off before you get to logon via LEAP. This is the order you need to do things: set the SSID logon via LEAP dhclient otherwise things could go bad due to dhclient getting upset that it never gets a lease back. Starting another dhclient while the other one is hanging around doesn't work. I'd suggest taking pccard_ifconfig out of /etc/rc.conf and do everything by hand initially and then probably make a script to do the right thing. Doing the LEAP logon after the fact is going to result in trouble. Doug A. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
