WiFi interface - scanning ssid

[Samuel Martín Moro]

that may help:

my uname:
FreeBSD devel.axis.fr 7.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 14
15:26:50 CEST 2009     root at h2g2.axis.fr:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

in rc.conf:
hostapd/dhcpd/ifconfig_rum0 are commented

wlan_xauth is loaded

~# ifconfig rum0 down
~# ifconfig rum0 delete
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address
~# ifconfig rum0 destroy
ifconfig: SIOCIFDESTROY: Invalid argument
~# ifconfig rum0
rum0: flags=108802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:18:1a:0c:65:2f
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap>

        bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7 roam:rate11g 5
        protmode CTS dtimperiod 1

before, my card was listed by pciconf (but isn't anymore), as noneX
now, I can view it using usbdevs:
[...]
port 4 addr 2: high speed, power 300 mA, config 1, 802.11 bg WLAN(0x2573),
Ralink(0x148f), rev 0.01
[...]

I used to test WIFI with two different chipset.
I generated the first driver using ndisgen, and compiled back the kernel
(adding some lines into headers) to deal with the second one.
I don't remember which one I use here. But my problem might come from a bad
driver. (but most likely: PEBKAC)



Thanks for your help
