pf, yes. Altq, not on 6.x, don't know if that's changed and can't check my 7.x system atm. See man altq when in doubt. > Here is the HOWTO I am following to setup a Small office Samba File > Server / Wireless AP > http://tun0.net/ascii/config/freebsd_access_point/howtoforge-freebsd_wirele >ss.html > > if anyone knows of a more current HOWTO please let me know Hmm, it's quite outdated, but most things will work. I don't see the reason for using pfsync on a small home network with only 1 gateway to the net, so you can leave that out. You don't need bind9 port, cause FreeBSD has bind 9 in base for quite a while. Wlan layers will be loaded automically, when a driver is loaded that needs them, so no need for them to be loaded in loader.conf. The table in the pf config has no name, not very good practice and not sure if that'll work. The pf config also doesn't define any queues, so compiling in altq isn't necessary with the config given there. Before you do anything, make sure the driver for your wireless card supports: - hostap - apbridge You can check this with ifconfig -v on the interface name, i.e.: ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.100.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.100.255 inet 192.168.100.51 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.100.51 ether 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> ^^^^^^ status: associated ssid MYSSID channel 1 (2412) bssid 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 34 txpower 63 rtsthreshold 2346 mcastrate 1 fragthreshold 2346 bmiss 7 -pureg protmode CTS -wme burst ssid SHOW apbridge dtimperiod 1 ^^^^^^^^ bintval 100 -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
