And wicontrol claims that 1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc Here is the wicontrol output.

I have two wireless cards, and I'm running dstumbler on a desktop box which has both a wired NIC and a PCI interface for a PCMCIA card. I'm not seeing any traffic. I run "dstumbler wi0 -n" and I'm not seeing any output at all. cheers -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
