I recently decided to track -current on my Qube 2, so I installed it a
few days ago from a recent -current restore CD and it seems quite
stable! :)
However, I need support for my PRISM2.5 wireless card, so I enabled
wi0 in the kernel config file (by copying the config line for wi* from
i386 GENERIC) and recompiled. Now when I do 'ifconfig wi0 ssid
MySSID' I get "Inappropriate ioctl for device":
# ifconfig wi0 ssid Bender9000
ifconfig: SIOCS80211NWID: Inappropriate ioctl for device
# uname -a
NetBSD 4.99.31 NetBSD 4.99.31 (HAKO) #0: Thu Sep 20 17:00:52 UTC 2007
cvk@:/usr/src/sys/arch/cobalt/compile/HAKO cobalt
Anyone know why that could be? (My apologies if this is not relevant
to port-cobalt.)
P.S.: Why are some devices like wi* missing from the GENERIC cobalt
config? Shouldn't they all be there, but simply commented out?
