if it's running a recent net80211 stack, you'll need to create a vap sttion interface first eg, ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rum0 then do stuff to wlan0, not rum0. Adrian On Sun, Feb 06, 2011, Atticus wrote:

Hello,

I have a NetBSD host that I would like to connect to an existing wireless LAN using a rum(4) interface (Belkin F5D7050B USB 802.11g adaptor). I have tried configuring wpa_supplicant via rc.conf but it does not seem to start and I don't know why. Is there some other way to launch wpa_supplicant, perhaps via ifconfig.rum0?
