I have a problem with the channel configuration of wi-interfaces in rc.conf. In hostap mode the interface is always using channel 1. The statement: ifconfig_wi0="inet 172.17.16.1/26 ssid ap.huub.wleiden.net media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap channel 7" results in an ap-interface running at channel 1. I found that splitting the statement in the startup script is effective in setting the proper channel: ifconfig_wi0="inet 172.17.16.1/26 ssid ap.huub.wleiden.net media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap" ifconfig_wi0_alias0="channel 7" Now the ap is indeed using channel 7. I am running 7.2-RELEASE-p4 A bug in the wi-driver? Kind regards, Huub
