I have managed to gain a bit more information regarding my problem - I added an echo statement in /etc/netstart to get a copy of the command which was being run. I then tried to run it manually to see what happened and it received the same error (surprise). "ifconfig wi0 inet 10.90.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 nwflag hidenwid nwid /dev/null nwkey wasteoftime4u chan 1 mediaopt hostap"
Next I removed the nwflag hidenwid and ran the command - it worked sucessfully. I checked ifconfig and wi0 was up and running normally. I then ran the original command and it worked without a hitch. It seems like everything else has to be set before the nwflag is able to work. On 10/17/06, William Graeber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm just received my 4.0 cd package today and was going through upgrading my system. I have a senao prism2 pcmcia card which is acting up a bit when I try to set the "nwflag hidenwid" option. The card allows me to set it manually by running "ifconfig wi0 nwflag hidenwid", however if I try to add a line to hostname.wi0 to have it set automatically on boot such as: inet 10.90.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE nwflag hidenwid nwid /dev/null nwkey XxXx chan 1 mediaopt hostap it gives me the error: "ifconfig: SIOCS80211FLAGS: Invalid argument" I'm sure that there is something moronic that I have done incorrectly. Thanks in advance, William
