Here's how I did it (on a SparcClassic):
* The kernel _must_ be compiled with:
pseudo-device bridge
options GATEWAY
* set /etc/ifconfig.bridge0 to
create
!brconfig $int add wi0 add hme0 up
* set /etc/ifconfig.wi0 to
nwid NWID
media autoselect mediaopt hostap
up
* set /etc/ifconfig.hme0 normally.
This only works with interfaces that use recent Intersil firmware (mine is a
late-model Corega 5V card identified as Wireless_LAN_PCCB-11, late-model
Buffalo/Melco cards use Lucent firmware that does not include hostap mode).
