( I prefer wired nets & only fumble with wireless when I must, but ) The above has multiple Bourne shell syntax errors. > ifconfig_wlan0 =" ssid myssid" ................^..^ delete spaces > ifconfig_wlan0 ="mode 11g" ................^ delete space > ifconfig_wlan0 ="-bgscan" ................^ delete space > ifconfig_wlan0 = "WPA DHCP" ................^.^ delete spaces a test live with with /bin/sh: ifconfig_wlan0="ssid myssid" ifconfig_wlan0="mode 11g" ifconfig_wlan0="-bgscan" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" echo $ifconfig_wlan0 & see 3 previous assertions overwritten by the fourth. So try either ifconfig_wlan0="ssid myssid" ifconfig_wlan0="$ifconfig_wlan0 mode 11g" ifconfig_wlan0="$ifconfig_wlan0 -bgscan" ifconfig_wlan0="$ifconfig_wlan0 WPA DHCP" or ifconfig_wlan0="ssid myssid mode 11g -bgscan WPA DHCP" Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix C Sys Eng Consultant Munich http://berklix.com Interleave replies Below, like a play script. _______________________________________________ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
