Cheers,
I have a Problem with a WRAP board (dmesg attached) and a MiniPCI WLAN card.
The card is a Wistron CM9. My /etc/hostname.ath0 looks like this:
#cat /etc/hostname.ath
inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect \
mediaopt hostap nwid wrap chan 11
#ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:0b:6b:35:b0:1b
ieee80211: nwid wrap chan 11 bssid 00:0b:6b:35:b0:1b
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect hostap (autoselect mode 11a hostap)
status: active
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::20b:6bff:fe35:b01b%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
But I cannot join the network and also cannot see it with a WLAN-scanner
(Kismac on a PowerBook with OS X).
Lately there have been some reports about problems with WRAP/ath/OpenBSD.
Does ath in hostap mode works in 3.7 or do I have to upgrade to current?
I am still getting *my* feet wet with wireless in OpenBSD, but the ath
device in my ThinkPad required that I update to -current (per Theo's
suggestion). After that, I haven't had any problems with joining
networks or creating them. I just tested setting up a network with the
ThinkPad and it worked fine. I last updated Sunday, so I imagine it
still works.
I upgraded to Current:

But still, no wireless network and I now get this:
# wicontrol ath0
wicontrol: SIOCGWAVELAN (0xfd0b): Invalid argument
Why are you using "wicontrol"?
man wicontrol:
"The wicontrol command controls the operation of WaveLAN/IEEE wireless
networking devices via the wi(4) and awi(4) drivers."
you are using an ath device not awi or wi. Also, use ifconfig to
control athX in configuring it for host-based AP mode. Look at the end
of "man ath" and you will find very good instructions on how to do so.

With 3.7 I got no error.
