Hello, Karl, It seems nwam is enabled by defaul in Indiana/b96.
What's the output of from below commands: #svcs -a |grep physical If you see nwam is online like: ====================== bash-3.2# svcs -a |grep physical disabled 8?_25 svc:/network/physical:default online 8?_25 svc:/network/physical:nwam ====================== you just need to do below command: #svcadm restart nwam Then you will be notified with a popup to choose AP to connect with. If you want to use wificonfig to configure wireless network, you must disable nwam firstly. #svcadm disable nwam #svcadm enable physical:default ... ... Good luck. :-) - Michael Karl Dalen ??: > I'm using the ath-0.7.3 driver together with wificonfig on my laptop and > when I disconnect the wlan using: wificonfig -i ath0 disconnect (or suspend) > and move to another location and try to connect to another access point it > fails. > If I do: > # wificonfig -i ath0 connect newpoint > It looks like I'm connected based on: wificonfig -i ath0 showstatus > > linkstatus: connected > active profile: none > essid: newpoint > bssid: 00:18:b0:7b:c2:99 > encryption: none > signal strength: medium(10) > > but 'ifconfig ath0' shows: > ath0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 > index 2 > inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 10.0.255.255 > > which means I haven't got a new IP at the new access point > It seems to indicate that my IP is set to 0.0.0.0 > > Now if I try: > # ifconfig ath0 dhcp > ifconfig: ath0: wait timed out, operations still pending > > and I fail to get a new IP.
