I think the work that wpa_supplicant daemon does is only to control the association to the AP and bringing up the interface; then in FreeBSD a devd (device daemon) lets you describe what to do else, for example launch a script when IF_UP; in this script you may, based on the MAC of the AP, do whatever is needed: ifconfig static IP or DHCP or .... it is similiar to what I have described here for the cdce0 (USB) interface: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Usb_networking#FreeBSD a logic like that must exist in Debian too, I'm wrong? and this is not much scripting work, or? matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ A computer is like an air conditioner, it stops working when you open Windows Una computadora es como aire acondicionado, deja de funcionar si abres Windows _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
