The infrastructure is subject to change, but it's the best I've been able to come up with so far. Some sort of transition tool might be in order. If you the following in your rc.conf file: ifconfig_ath0=3D"DHCP WPA" you should change it to: vaps_ath0=3D"wlan0" # Any name will work ifconfig_wlan0=3D"DHCP WPA" # Also change any other ath0 related # variables... You if you wanted a more informative naming scheme you could do something like: vaps_ath0=3D"ath0.sta" ifconfig_ath0_sta=3D"DHCP WPA" -- Brooks --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFIDNezXY6L6fI4GtQRAgm0AJ4ix88j3CZ+NbwJULSvn4yMF2XA1ACfS6sM CWS724QFudnI6lIc5Pd9MyY= =kc1a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq--
