Hi Everybody, On my OpenBSD 5.3 GENERIC.MP#62 amd64, I am trying to set the nwflag to hidenwid of my athn0 but I have the following error:
$ ifconfig athn0 inet 10.0.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media autoselect mediaopt hostap nwid test chan 6 nwflag hidenwid up ifconfig: SIOCS80211CHANNEL: Invalid argument Someone had reported this issue in the past : http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2006-10/1793.html. Like mentionned, I have tried to move the nwflag in the command line (or in /etc/hostname.athn0, even put nwflag hidenwid in the second line), but no success. Does anybody have a working configuration ? Thanks for your help, ===== Here are my hardware info : $ dmesg | grep athn athn0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Atheros AR5418" rev 0x01: apic 4 int 17 athn0: MAC AR5418 rev 2, RF AR5133 (2T3R), ROM rev 8, address 00:21:63:a4:3a:28 $ pkg_info | grep firmware athn-firmware-1.1p0 firmware binary images for athn(4) driver $ ifconfig athn0 media athn0: flags=8803<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:21:63:a4:3a:28 priority: 4 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect status: no network ieee80211: nwid test chan 6 supported media: media autoselect media autoselect mediaopt hostap media autoselect mediaopt monitor media autoselect mode 11a media autoselect mode 11a mediaopt hostap media autoselect mode 11a mediaopt monitor media OFDM6 mode 11a media OFDM6 mode 11a mediaopt hostap media OFDM6 mode 11a mediaopt monitor media OFDM9 mode 11a media OFDM9 mode 11a mediaopt hostap media OFDM9 mode 11a mediaopt monitor media OFDM12 mode 11a media OFDM12 mode 11a mediaopt hostap media OFDM12 mode 11a mediaopt monitor media OFDM18 mode 11a media OFDM18 mode 11a mediaopt hostap media OFDM18 mode 11a mediaopt monitor media OFDM24 mode 11a media OFDM24 mode 11a mediaopt hostap media OFDM24 mode 11a mediaopt monitor media OFDM36 mode 11a media OFDM36 mode 11a mediaopt hostap media OFDM36 mode 11a mediaopt monitor media OFDM48 mode 11a media OFDM48 mode 11a mediaopt hostap media OFDM48 mode 11a mediaopt monitor media OFDM54 mode 11a media OFDM54 mode 11a mediaopt hostap media OFDM54 mode 11a mediaopt monitor media autoselect mode 11b media autoselect mode 11b mediaopt hostap media autoselect mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS1 mode 11b media DS1 mode 11b mediaopt hostap media DS1 mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS2 mode 11b media DS2 mode 11b mediaopt hostap media DS2 mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS5 mode 11b media DS5 mode 11b mediaopt hostap media DS5 mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS11 mode 11b media DS11 mode 11b mediaopt hostap media DS11 mode 11b mediaopt monitor media autoselect mode 11g media autoselect mode 11g mediaopt hostap media autoselect mode 11g mediaopt monitor media DS1 mode 11g media DS1 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media DS1 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media DS2 mode 11g media DS2 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media DS2 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media DS5 mode 11g media DS5 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media DS5 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media DS11 mode 11g media DS11 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media DS11 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM6 mode 11g media OFDM6 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM6 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM9 mode 11g media OFDM9 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM9 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM12 mode 11g media OFDM12 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM12 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM18 mode 11g media OFDM18 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM18 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM24 mode 11g media OFDM24 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM24 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM36 mode 11g media OFDM36 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM36 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM48 mode 11g media OFDM48 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM48 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM54 mode 11g media OFDM54 mode 11g mediaopt hostap media OFDM54 mode 11g mediaopt monitor media OFDM6 media OFDM6 mediaopt hostap media OFDM6 mediaopt monitor media OFDM9 media OFDM9 mediaopt hostap media OFDM9 mediaopt monitor media OFDM12 media OFDM12 mediaopt hostap media OFDM12 mediaopt monitor media OFDM18 media OFDM18 mediaopt hostap media OFDM18 mediaopt monitor media OFDM24 media OFDM24 mediaopt hostap media OFDM24 mediaopt monitor media OFDM36 media OFDM36 mediaopt hostap media OFDM36 mediaopt monitor media OFDM48 media OFDM48 mediaopt hostap media OFDM48 mediaopt monitor media OFDM54 media OFDM54 mediaopt hostap media OFDM54 mediaopt monitor media DS1 media DS1 mediaopt hostap media DS1 mediaopt monitor media DS2 media DS2 mediaopt hostap media DS2 mediaopt monitor media DS5 media DS5 mediaopt hostap media DS5 mediaopt monitor media DS11 media DS11 mediaopt hostap media DS11 mediaopt monitor -- Alexis de BRUYN
