Every client who is near me can get internet access. On my laptop I am running RELENG_4 as 1 week ago. On the manual pages of the wicontrol for the -c flag it says: Note: this option is provided for experimental purposes only: abling the creation of an IBSS on a host system doesn't appear o actually work. Does this mean I can do what I want or not? I ask because I followed the intructions on this page http://www.live.com/wireless/unix-base-station.html and I couldnt it working, and I got the 8.x firmware on my orinoco's. Beforing messing more with my wireless stuff I just wanted to make sure FreeBSD supports this. Abel.
