I guess whatever I did last Spring, was only a partial install. Results were as follows: |router0>ifconfig ath0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:1b:2f:37:02:46 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: running lagg0: flags=8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier laggproto failover wlan0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1b:2f:37:02:46 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: running ssid wrouter0 channel 1 (2412 MHz 11g) bssid 00:1b:2f:37:02:46 country US ecm authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 23 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS wme burst dtimperiod 1 -dfs | I am able to get the wlan0 device to associate, and to scan, as listed below: router0> ifconfig wlan0 scan SSID/MESH ID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS CZXQ2 00:26:b8:46:70:8d 1 54M -85:-96 100 EPS WME HTCAP ATH 4EK81 00:26:b8:1f:ba:41 1 54M -92:-96 100 EPS WME HTCAP ATH virgicom-wi... 00:18:e7:0d:16:1a 2 54M 0:0 100 EPS WPA Belkin.306C 94:44:52:a3:f0:6c 1 54M -86:-96 100 EP MESHCONF MESHCONF WPS HTCAP WPA RSN WME 88VC7 00:1f:90:ed:8d:b9 1 54M -88:-96 100 EPS WME ATH ALLEN 00:24:b2:d6:57:2c 2 54M 0:0 100 EPS WME HTCAP ATH WPS However, the current issue may be something that is a simple "staleness" issue with a faulty kernel install, and hostapd. When attempting to get hostapd running, I get the following: router0>/etc/rc.d/hostapd start kldload: can't load wlan_xauth: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/hostapd: WARNING: Unable to load kernel module wlan_xauth /etc/rc.d/hostapd: WARNING: failed precmd routine for hostapd Here is the currently installed version, which is asking for the seemingly depricated kernel module wlan_xauth. router0> hostapd -v hostapd v0.7.3 User space daemon for IEEE 802.11 AP management, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator Copyright (c) 2002-2010, Jouni Malinen and contributors I have found that I am actually missing the required wlan_xauth.ko wlan_xauth.symbols entries in /boot/kernel so I must have a messy install of the 8.2-STABLE kernel. I am considering this issue resolved, since I can fully utilize the wlan0 mechanism now. Thanks again. -- Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth M. G. Wigglesworth Holdings, LLC www.mgwigglesworth.net
