Default OpenBSD Access Point

Hi,

I have installed OpenBSD on an embedded system (Soekris 4801) with a wireless card and I am trying to run it as an Access Point. I can see that the board has the driver and recognizes the card after doing:

Code:
dmesg | grep -i ath0
gives:

Quote:
ath0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "Atheros AR5413" rev 0x01: irq 11
ath0: AR 5413 10.5 phy 6.1 rf 6.3, FCC2A*, address 00:30:1a:46:0d:5b
I changed the /etc/hostname.ath0 file as follows:

Code:
up media autoselect mediaopt hostap mode 11g chan 1
inet 10.10.1.1
and restarted the networking interface:

Code:
sh /etc/netstart ath0
However, doing this gives the following message:

WARNING: /etc/hostname.ath0 is insecure, fixing permissions
and then instantly reboots. The reboot cycle then continues forever exactly after the network is started. Any ideas on why this reboot might be happening? Is this a OpenBSD, driver, or a hardware issue?
