The system has been giving me some issues with the ifconfig commands after an
unstable world upgrade from 8.1-PRERELEASE.
However, after re-installing the kernel all commands result in the appropriate
functionality, except for wlan0 devices being assigned their static ip address
from the rc.conf script.
The device becomes active, and registers as an access point, when using hostap
mode, having the
desired ssid, however, no IP address is ever issues during the rc.conf
setup process.
Example:
(with hostapd activated on boot)
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:1b:2f:37:02:46
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g<hostap>
status: running
ssid wireless2 channel 1 (2412 MHz 11g) bssid 00:1b:2f:37:02:46
country US ecm authmode WPA privacy MIXED deftxkey 2
AES-CCM 2:128-bit AES-CCM 3:128-bit txpower 23 scanvalid 60
protmode CTS wme burst dtimperiod 1 -dfs
(without hostapd activated on boot)
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:1b:2f:37:02:46
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g<hostap>
status: running
ssid wrouter0 channel 1 (2412 MHz 11g) bssid 00:1b:2f:37:02:46
country US ecm authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 23 scanvalid 60
protmode CTS wme burst dtimperiod 1 -dfs
rc.conf section for this device is as follows:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap"
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.200.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 ssid "wrouter0"
mode 54g channel 1"
However, all works perfectly, if I simply assign the intended ip address
to the wlan0 device.
Any input on this?
