I haven't tried putting *all* the options in ifconfig_ath0 ever, but my old `wlan-home.sh' shell script for a WEP-only access point included among others: # network interface options export wlans_ath0="wlan0" export ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.1.3/24" export defaultrouter='192.168.1.1' echo '## Stopping network interfaces.' /etc/rc.d/netif stop fxp0 && ifconfig fxp0 delete /etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0 && ifconfig ath0 delete echo '## Bringing up wireless interface.' /etc/rc.d/netif start ath0 # NOTE: Changing options with the wlan interface UP doesn't work for # all options, so bring it temporarily down, set things up and go. ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 ssid '********' channel 5 wepmode on weptxkey 1 \ wepkey '0x**************************' ifconfig wlan0 up ^^^^^ This last bit seems related to what you wrote. ^^^^^ I don't remember why I initially wrote it this way, but I think it was because putting _everything_ in ${ifconfig_wlan0} with a statically defined IP address didn't really work. I don't use a static IP address anymore and I don't have the WEP-only AP installed, having switched to WPA2/DHCP, but maybe that helps a bit with what you want to do? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
