Has anyone got FreeBSD 6.0 to work as a wireless access point using WPA? I'm running a Prism 2.5 based wireless card and have been using it as an access point for years. It stills works OK but I installed the hostapd port in order to add WPA authentication. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work as it complains when I run it as follows: bsd_configure_wpa: group key cipher=AES-CCM (3) ioctl[SIOCS80211]: Invalid argument I'm not sure whether hostapd is configured right as there seems to be no documentation for it. Can anyone shed some light on this or am I barking up the wrong tree as far as WPA is concerned?

However ifconfig wi0 list caps should indicate the driver lacks support for WPA1/WPA2. Guess it would be good for hostpad to check that. Sam
