Maybe your problem is that wepkey is malformatted in your command
If not, I didn't try to understand, but I also had troubles with the
position of SSID keyword.
(ifconfig arg error, might be your problem)
(btw: I also had problem with ssid containing spaced characters)


Later, I tried to set it up as an hostap, it seems to work well.
But when I try to connect from an other computer, I'm unable to to join
the
network.
(running under 7.2, I compiled the kernel adding a define matching my
device, based on a similar (I hope so...) chipset)


good luck

I'm not sure wether syntax has changed but I wanted to cretae an wlan

I tried this but got a socket error "Invalid argument".

Then I tried (from an example in the rum (4) manpage):ifconfig wlan
create wlandev rum0 10.0.0.1/24 mediaopt hostap CITYOFFICE wepmode on
wepkey 0xf00baaf00baa  weptxkey 1 channel 1




Perhaps you want this one:

ifconfig wlan create wlandev rum0 10.0.0.1/24 wlanmode hostap ssid
CITYOFFICE wepmode on wepkey 0xf00baaf00baa  weptxkey 1 channel 1




I tried this in rc.conf:

ifconfig_rum0="wlan create wlandev rum0 10.0.0.1/24 wlanmode hostap ssid
CITYOFFICE  wepmode on wepkey 0xf00baaf00baa weptxkey 1 channel 1"

I got this:

rum0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu

Why "no carrier"?
And I would expect more info on the interface like SSID and such.

 and got:

wlan0
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured

But suddenly the wlan0 device is there.

Can anybody fill me in?

Wireless changed on 8, you have to define wlans in rc.conf then set the

That's why I'm asking :)

network up onto the appropriate wlan entry;

example;

wlans_wpi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

Thanks Craig, and also Paul. It looks a bitt better now though still not
perfect. I don't see the SSID on the network yet
(I filled in a bogus wepkey for posting here, of course):

rc.conf:
wlans_rum0="wlan0"
network_interfaces="lo0 rl0 wlan0" # List of network interfaces (or "auto").
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"   # default loopback device configuration.
ifconfig_rl0="inet 172.27.4.219 netmask 255.255.248.0"
ifconfig_wlan0="wlan create wlandev rum0 10.0.0.1/24 wlanmode hostap
ssid Aachen

Still incorrect, remove "wlan create wlandev rum0"

 wepmode on wepkey 0xf00baaf00baa  weptxkey 1 channel 1"
defaultrouter="172.27.2.116"

ifconfig:

Note, that I would like to build up an AP, not a peer to peer or WLAN
client.

BTW rum(4) is crap in hostap mode.


This is what it looks like now:

rc.conf:

wlans_rum0="wlan0"
network_interfaces="lo0 rl0 wlan0" # List of network interfaces (or "auto").
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"   # default loopback device configuration.

ifconfig:

Hmm, should I throw the Belkin thing into the waste and buy something else? I was hoping that 8.0 had changed it to the better a bit. But if you are saying, rum(4) is still crappy...
