Have a look at the "Wireless" section of this page: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dpelleg/X23_freebsd.html It discusses two alternative approaches. I stopped using the rc.network patch a while ago, since I am happy with nicmond. Also, the nicmond port was committed very recently (though with nothing but my poor Babelfish-aided translation of the japanese manpages). It should work fairly easily though. Note I never used it on wireless interfaces. -- Dan Pelleg
