hi
I removed the interface conf. from the cable but still doesn't work.
What's very strange is authmode OPEN:
# ifconfig
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.2.20 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
inet6 fe80::20f:b5ff:fe26:d1c9%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:0f:c4:12:b2:b8
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps)
status: no carrier
ssid myssid 1:myssid
channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1
wepkey 1:104-bit
howto change it to shared ?
# ifconfig ath0 authmode shared
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument
