You do realize that all of that is configurable; ie, auto connect, preferred network, etcetera. If you have not taken the time to read the documentation and properly configure the wireless app correctly then why bitch? I am not implying that it is perfect; however, given the grave limitations that FreeBSD places on wireless connections; specifically lack of drivers, and the inordinate amount of manual intervention to accomplish what Microsoft and other OSs, (does the name Ubuntu sound familiar) have achieved, it is readily apparent that the FreeBSD implementation is trailing the pack. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+f...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
