You are correct, it's wicontrol. I have a small script that set up the card called /etc/setup_wi: ------------------------------ #!/bin/sh cmd="wicontrol -i wi0" $cmd -s "hostname" $cmd -p 1 $cmd -n "WaveLAN Network" ------------------------------ Then for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE entry in pccard.conf: card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE" config default "wi0" IRQ insert logger -s Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE inserted insert /etc/setup_wi insert /etc/pccard_ether wi0 IPADDRESS netmask NETMASK insert /etc/ifc remove logger -s Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE removed remove /etc/pccard_ether_remove wi0 delete IPADDRESS And finally /etc/ifc: ifconfig wi0 down ifconfig wi0 inet IPADDRESS netmask NETMASK up Replace hostname with your hostname The "WaveLAN Network" above must match your access point's network name Replace IRQ above with the cards IRQ Replace IPADDRESS everywhere above with your IP Address Replace NETMASK everywhere above with your netmask That should be everything. The default route and hostname are still set in /etc/rc.conf. Good Luck!!
