man ifconfig showed an example of   how to configure a card as
an access point. The other folks'd done it on   either Open or
Free, so they already knew. I wouldn't have from the man   pages
though.  * wictl on one of the other BSDs will list all the
hsots assosciated   with the access point. I found out that
wiconfig -D, which is meant   to search for access points, seems
to report assosciated hosts,   but it doesn't adapt to the fact
they are assosciated and not access   points. For instance, it
reports access points with BSSIDs equal   to the other hosts'
MAC addresses. I think all that's needed is for   -D to note
that it's an access po
