You can't combine "use DHCP" and "use this SSID" in /etc/rc.conf . To do both, you need to create a startup script that sets the interface options (ssid / wep key / etc) and then just set /etc/rc.conf to use DHCP.
In /etc/rc.conf put this : ifconfig_ath0="DHCP" Then place this in a file called /etc/start_if.ath0 : ifconfig ath0 ssid "some network" wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890123 --- end of /etc/start_if.ath0 --- The RC scripts will now first execute /etc/start_if.ath0 on boot, and then try to get an ip address on the interface with dhclient. grtz, Daan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
