The trouble now I'm having involves setting up WEP. I am currently running WEP on a Netgear Wireless router 802.11b. The Dlink does 802.11b/g. Here's what I'm running into when turning on WEP. The router has a 26 character string for 128-bit WEP that I created via a passphrase. Windows takes it and works well wirelessly but when I configure my card, here's wha t happens on BSD: ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.175 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid SSID_NAME wepmode on wepkey 0xyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists Assume the first 0x means hex and the rest is the key name. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks scotty _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
