That sounds distinctly odd. I've had rums and they never needed much in the way of special treatment. I tend to put all the link options on one line, but that may or may not be relevant. > Googling around, I tried to make it even more sophisticated: > > #v+ > up media autoselect mediaopt ibss mode 11g chan 2 nwid <nwid> wpakey <key> > dhcp > #v- I'd do without the sophistication at this point. In almost all cases, defaults or negotiated values carry the day. (Or you could record the exact options from ifconfig output after a successful connect and put those in). I usually do something like media autoselect nwid foobar wpakey ohsoseekrityeah dhcp rtsol -- ditching one or the other of the last two depending on which address families are actually available. - Peter -- Peter N.
