I have never had to mess with anything other then putting one line in rc.conf: ifconfig_ndis0="inet netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid LINKSYS" It seems to default to autoselect. try: #ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid YOURSSID I know it might be over simplified, but thats all I do and it defaults to autoselect. #ifconfig ... ndis0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.234.23.99 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 inet6 fe80::20d:41ff:fa41:5d37%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 ether 00:0d:4f:41:5f:e7 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid PUBLIC 1:PUBLIC channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 Not sure if that is any help or not... let me know. -- - James
