Hi, thanks.

I'am running NetBSD 2.0_RC5 in this laptop,

The output of   ifconfig wi0 is:

wi0: flags =8863<UP, BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEXMULTICAST> mtu 1500
    ssid linksys
    powersave off
    bssid 00:0c:41:67:95:d0 chan 6
    address: <x:x:x:x:x>
    media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11b (DS11)
    status: active
    inet 192.168.1.30 metmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
    inet6 <xxxxx>

Regards.
