Hi all
I am trying to setup openbsd using an athros card as an AP
I entered into the file below
#/etc/hostname.ath0
inet 192.168.2.254 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect mediaopt hostap mode
11g nwid my_secure_wlan chan 11
I then boot the unit and I can't see it broadcasting the wireless ID for my
clients to connect
The results of above on the card is
ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0d:f5:10:8b:e7
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11g hostap
status: active
ieee80211: nwid my_secure_wlan chan 11 bssid 00:0d:f5:10:8b:e7
inet6 fe80::20d:f5ff:fe10:8be7%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8
inet 192.168.2.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
The card, when setup as a client for an AP works great.
For example, I have some windows laptops and BSD laptops that I want to
connect to this but no luck
Can someone offer me some suggestions on where I am going wrong on this. from
what I have searched and read on, openBSD as an AP should be very straight
forward but i'm not seeing it broadcast out.
I'm running OpenBSD 4.0 on a soekris 4801
Thanks
