Hello, I've got a question about configuring WiFi bridged networking in FreeBSD 10 Stable. The config info: *Ethernet and WiFi transparent bridged network *WiFi is protected via WPA2 *802.11n/ht WiFi FreeBSD Configuration: wlans_ath0="wlan0" create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap" cloned_interfaces="bridge0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1/8 mtu 9000" ifconfig_bridge0="inet 192.168.1.1/24 addm re1 addm wlan0 description LAN" ifconfig_re0="rxcsum txcsum tso -vlanhwtag -vlanmtu -vlanhwcsum description ToISP up" ifconfig_re1="description LAN_Ethernet" ifconfig_wlan0="ht channel 6:ht/20 country RU regdomain etsi -bgscan bintval 500" Hostapd from ports: In rc.conf hostapd_enable="YES" hostapd_program="/usr/local/sbin/hostapd" In /etc/hostapd.conf there's some stuff configured interface=wlan0 driver=bsd logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=4 logger_stdout=-1 logger_stdout_level=4 dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=wheel ssid=MIEKOFF.LOCAL country_code=RU ieee80211d=1 beacon_int=100 dtim_period=2 max_num_sta=10 rts_threshold=2347 fragm_threshold=2346 preamble=1 macaddr_acl=0 auth_algs=2 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 wmm_enabled=1 wmm_ac_bk_cwmin=4 wmm_ac_bk_cwmax=10 wmm_ac_bk_aifs=7 wmm_ac_bk_txop_limit=0 wmm_ac_bk_acm=0 wmm_ac_be_aifs=3 wmm_ac_be_cwmin=4 wmm_ac_be_cwmax=10 wmm_ac_be_txop_limit=0 wmm_ac_be_acm=0 wmm_ac_vi_aifs=2 wmm_ac_vi_cwmin=3 wmm_ac_vi_cwmax=4 wmm_ac_vi_txop_limit=94 wmm_ac_vi_acm=0 wmm_ac_vo_aifs=2 wmm_ac_vo_cwmin=2 wmm_ac_vo_cwmax=3 wmm_ac_vo_txop_limit=47 wmm_ac_vo_acm=0 ap_max_inactivity=600 disassoc_low_ack=1 max_listen_interval=600 ap_isolate=0 ieee8021x=0 eap_server=0 wpa=2 wpa_psk=da55ab74e575db9fcfa6dca52dbe9c1d29cc8a216627b0360e91c4ff3a50b6f9 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP wpa_group_rekey=600 wpa_gmk_rekey=86400 rsn_preauth=1 disable_pmksa_caching=0 ap_table_max_size=255 ap_table_expiration_time=3600 time_advertisement=0 Question 1: Should I use hostapd from world or ports? Does it matter? Question 2: It seems than order of lines in rc.conf is important, e.g. if I place wifi before bridge there wolud be an error. Question 3: how should I configure WiFi device to be 802.11n/ht capable? When I place some args in "wlan_create" line they do not work or produce errors. e.g. if I place this: create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap ht channel 6:ht/20 country RU regdomain etsi mtu 2290" WiFi device would be not condigured due to unknown reason while system boots up. Question 4: I'd like to have increased MTU (2290), but when I try to add some MTU stuff to configuration, the bridge0 starts first, adds re1 with increased MTU and says that it cannot attach wlan0 with MTU 1500. Question 5: something happens with ht/40+. I just figure out how to configure wlan0 with ht/40+ at the boot time. When I add it to wlan_create nothing happens or error happens. Of couse each try breaks bridge0 and cuts me off so I have to log in directly - that's pain. Question 6: what sould I configure in hostapd.conf? Or what can I configure if I'd like to without disturbing wireless networking. -- amd_miek Think different. Just superior.
