FreeBSD and BSS, IBSS, etc.
well, if you look at the driver notes, setting wi to do BSS or IBSS is
simple...
wicontrol -p 1
turns on BSS mode (Infrastructure)
wicontrol -c 1
turns on IBSS mode (AdHoc)
you can even turn on bridging...
from man wi examples...
Add BRIDGE to the kernel config.
# ifconfig wi0 inet up ssid my_ap mediaopt hostap
# sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1
# sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="wi0 fxp0"
# sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
so what was the problem???
(BTW, what is EBSS?)
