I am still having prolems though. . . It's probably just because I'm somewhat of a n00b. . . :-D My problem is: I do not know how to bring my ndis0 interface up and select it over my on-baird NIC. My wireless network is not ecnrypted (please don't flame me. . . I have Xbox live - which doesn't work with and ecnrypted wireless network). After successfully kldloading I enter: laptop#ifconfig ndis0 channel 6 laptop#ifconfig ndis0 ssid "maynards" laptop#ifconfig ndis0 up and get this: xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=9 inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:04:76:48:93:01 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ndis0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 ether 00:0f:66:cf:10:7e media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid maynards 1:maynards channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 Two questions: 1) is this interface ready to use? 2) how do I select this interface?
