I'm not really sure what ucastrate does - but here it goes: $ifconfig wlan0 list scan|head -1 xyz 00:23:xx:yy:zz:aa:bb 1 54M -125:-95 102 E HTCAP WME $ifconfig wlan0 ssid xyz $dhclient wlan0 ... no link ... $ifconfig wlan0 ucastrate 9 $dhclient wlan0 ... no link ... $ifconfig wlan0 ucastrate 1 $dhclient wlan0 ... no link ... I'm fairly sure that I'm in an area where the signal reaches because when I was using the ndis driver (on an old install) it worked. This is a fresh install now. -- Eitan Adler _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
