Yes. Same goes for pf -- when matching an interface, it should be one

an interface name on OpenBSD to
Warren, Paul, many thanks.
I somehow missed your emails, just found your
replies in on-line archives a hour ago.
I got it all working now:
HAMOR ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:27:19:e1:b7:d9
inet 192.168.1.101
This is my first wireless attempt. Please don't shoot
me for asking obvious questions.
This is on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT sparc64
I've TL-WN851N PCI wireless card.
I see in dmesg:
ath0: Atheros 9280 mem 0x11-0x11 at device 3.0 on pci0
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: AR9280 mac 128.2 RF5133
