There is the 802.11 power save mode of operation where the station goes to sleep and wakes up in time to get a DTIM messages from the AP. And there are settings in the Atheros h/w that allow you to force the chip into a power saving mode between listening for beacons or otherwise automatically waking up to process frames. The former is not supported but many firmware-based cards do support it. The latter is what the manual page refers to. >> > *) Shared Key Authentication seems to be not supported either: >> > >> ># ifconfig ath0 authmode shared >> > ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument >> >> Never has been supported under FreeBSD for any 802.11 card (at least not >> that I'm aware of). > > Ah, didn't know that, since ifconfig claims that "shared" is a valid mode. Valid yes. Supported no. Maybe soon. SamReceived on Tue Jul 08 2003 - 05:13:32 UTC
