      I am not finding it broadcasting the SSID  I see hidessid below but I did not select that.  The activity lights on the card flash a few times on statup then no activity.

      $ cat /tmp/wi0_setup.sh
      #!/bin/sh

      pfSense wireless configuration script.

      enable shell debugging

      set -x

      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 down
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 -mediaopt hostap
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 mode '11b'
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 channel '0'
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 -mediaopt turbo
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 ssid 'pfs_silver'
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 -hidessid
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 -mediaopt adhoc
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 protmode 'off'
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 -pureg
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 apbridge
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 -wme
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 authmode open wepmode off
      /sbin/ifconfig wi0 txpower '72'

        It works when I select ADHoc IBSS but not in the other two modes. 
        Ifrastructure of Access Point.

        I can get out to the net.  I wonder if this will work with more than one client?
