Hello,
I am running OpenBSD 4.9 i386 on an Apple Mac mini and these mac mini
have one ethernet as well as one wireless card. I will only be using the
ethernet card so I wanted to be sure that my ath0 is disabled and not all the
time scanning. Basically I would like it to be off so that it doesn't emit any
radio signals.
If I don't configure the card is this already the case? or do
I need to enforce this through an ifconfig ath0 down? I couldn't find anything
about this topic on the FAQ...
Just in case here is the ifconfig output for
ath0.
ath0: flags=8822<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:1c:xx:xx:xx:xx
priority: 4
groups: wlan
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (OFDM6)
status: no network
ieee80211: nwid ""
inet6 xxx::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx%ath0 prefixlen 64
scopeid 0x2
