What is the control program for this interface? 



ifconfig rum0 10.0.0.1/24 mediaopt hostap ssid bert channel 1

if the device supports it.
  


Fantastic. So easy! And it works.

 to work. wicontrol isn't there
 at all on my system.

ifconfig(8) is used for configuring all network interfaces, wireless as well
as wired.  See also the wlan(4) and rum(4) manpages.
