Hi, Looks like I have made a typo in the configuration "wlanmod" instead of "wlanmode". Just for the record I have changed rc.conf as follows: #network cloned_interfaces="bridge0" wlans_ath0="wlan0" create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap country bg" ifconfig_wlan0="ssid cheffo channel 5:g txpower 30 protmode rtscts dturbo up" and now wlan0 works. wlan0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:0c:42:26:3d:b7 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> status: running ssid cheffo channel 5 (2432 MHz 11g) bssid 00:0c:42:26:3d:b7 regdomain ETSI country BG ecm authmode WPA privacy MIXED deftxkey 2 AES-CCM 2:128-bit txpower 30 scanvalid 60 protmode RTSCTS wme burst dtimperiod 1 -dfs groups: wlan But still this does not explains the freezes when I was doing this manually.
