Yes.  Same goes for pf -- when matching an interface, it should be one
of the list returned by 'ifconfig -l'.  You can say, for example 'em' as
an interface name on OpenBSD to match all NICs that use em(4), but I'm not
sure that works on FreeBSD.

Cheers,

Matthew

SOLVED: WAS: wireless ath - unable to get scan results

Warren, Paul, many thanks.
I somehow missed your emails, just found your
replies in on-line archives a hour ago.

I got it all working now:

One more question if you please:

In a firewall (ipfilter in my case) do I also use wlan0 as
an interface, and not ath0?

many thanks for your help and support as always
