The handbook isn't up to date and I have been looking for over a week unsuccessfully. As far as I know there isn't an X utility to do this from and I've tried wpa_suplicant.conf with a router here but since I don't understand it, I'm sure it is incorrect (plus the important clue that it doesn't work) Hopefully this is an easier and simpler way to do this. The wpa_supplicant.conf configuration that I've tested is: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 ## eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 network={ scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA2 ssid="TestRouter" ## bssid=[mac address of your access point here] ## key_mgmt=WPA-PSK ## pairwise=TKIP ## psk=[i forgot what this is, presumably the md5 of the passphrase.] password="Testing123" } Any suggestions for getting out of this glass of water that I'm drowning in would be greatly appreciated.Handbook: Section 31 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html#NETWORK-WIRELESS HTML Manpage for wpa_supplicant.conf: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicant.conf&sektion=5 proto List of acceptable protocols; one or more of: WPA (IEEE 802.11i/D3.0) and RSN (IEEE 802.11i). WPA2 is another name for RSN. If not set this defaults to "WPA RSN". I have 7.0-RELEASE working perfectly with WPA2/CCMP (using AES), so I can't imagine that 8 would break it that badly, but I could be wrong.. Here's my (very simple) wpa_supplicant.conf (psk edited, of course): ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 # Home: network={ ssid="<none>" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="x}&]{-9jimCm`6V:>LI#HiLa[Q5\jL/b;R:2)/%HU#zW=:&?K?PP8mx48`Jvx-K" }
I really needed a working example and that did it. I've tested with several and they all work fine. I also reread the handbook pages and understood them much better. I also wasn't using /etc/rc.d/netif for testing. I had forgotten about it.
Thanks so much, ed
