Re: WPC54G assistance needed

FYI: I got my WPC11 ver.4 owrking using ndisgen. I am still having prolems 
though. . .

It's probably just because I'm somewhat of a n00b. . . :-D My problem is: I do 
not know how to bring my ndis0 interface up and select it over my on-baird 
NIC. My wireless network is not ecnrypted (please don't flame me. . . I have 
Xbox live - which doesn't work with and ecnrypted wireless network).

After successfully kldloading I enter:

laptop#ifconfig ndis0 channel 6
laptop#ifconfig ndis0 ssid "maynards"
laptop#ifconfig ndis0 up

and get this:

xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 00:04:76:48:93:01
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:0f:66:cf:10:7e
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
        status: associated
        ssid maynards 1:maynards
        channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
        rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
        wepmode OFF weptxkey 1

Two questions:
1) is this interface ready to use?
2) how do I select this interface?
