[MLB-WIRELESS] Orinoco Silver to AP mode

[paul van den bergen]

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?)
