You need to start the argument of "wepkey" with the key number, it's a bit confusing. > pluto# ifconfig ath0 remove > ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested > address > > I can't remove the interface nor configure it. "remove" isn't a valid option to ifconfig. If you want to remove the ip-address you have assigned to ath0, try : ifconfig ath0 delete 192.168.2.180 or ifconfig ath0 delete (to delete all addresses assigned to ath0) > any ideas? Try the above, if something fails, let me (and the list) know. A last tip : You can turn on/off the wireless card by entering : ifconfig ath0 down ifconfig ath0 up grtz, Daan
