I use a small script to load and unload the driver: #!/bin/sh case "$1" in start) echo "Activating WLAN" kldload ndis kldload if_ndis ifconfig ndis0 ssid ec60bfg3b4 wepkey 1:0x12345678911234567891123456 wepmode on ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.1.49 route add 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 ;; stop) echo "Deactivating WLAN" kldunload if_ndis kldunload ndis ;; esac exit 0 DHCP works as well, but I don't use it. > > if I try to use dhcp the ip address will just go to zeroes. :\ > > > Are you positive that the DHCP function of your AP works perfectly?

I guess the DHCP server is working, but Gabriel's kernel is lacking "device bpf" which is needed for dhclient. Otherwise the IP is set to 0.0.0.0 without error message, just as described. > Also I strongly feel something fishy in the WLAN interface being detected as > ndisX instead of wiX. This is expected behaviour. Regards Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de
