Despite having added wlans_zyd0="wlan0" to my rc.conf file, my interfaces are as shown below: nassy# ifconfig msk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=118<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,TSO4> ether 00:13:d4:07:c7:2e inet 10.0.1.199 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,flag0,flag1>) status: active fwe0: flags=8902<BROADCAST,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> ether 02:11:d8:37:35:aa ch 1 dma -1 fwip0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 lladdr 0.11.d8.0.0.37.35.aa.a.2.ff.fe.0.0.0.0 plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 zyd0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:21:79:c2:44:82 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier As you can see, there is no wlan0. So, what might I be missing to actually get wlan0 setup? Everything I've found just mentions the rc.conf stuff, which I've done. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/setting-up-wlan-with-vap---wlan0-doesn%27t-appear-tp24453847p24455296.html Sent from the freebsd-current mailing list archive at Nabble.com.Received on Mon Jul 13 2009 - 00:39:33 UTC
