I understand why you would refer to Linux as "many modern systems," but it's really not available on anything non-Linux, and it's so tightly tied to the Linux kernel device implementation that there's no reasonable way it could be. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

These kind of generic questions are better suited for
freebsd-questions@, i doubt.
Anyway, from man 8 wpa_passphrase:
The wpa_passphrase utility is a small program for generating a 256-bit
pre-shared WPA key from an ASCII passphrase and a given SSID. The output
is formatted for inclusion in wpa_supplicant.conf(5).
Example:
I have an access point with ssid MySSID and passphrase MyS3cr3t:
> wpa_passphrase MySSID
# reading passphrase from stdin
MyS3cr3t
network={
ssid="MySSID"
#psk="MyS3cr3t"
psk=c0964594a3000e7605ef17097f7d939a44e516f05b99806fd862db5934c2e4d4
}
The output is ready to be included in your wpa_supplicant.conf file
(better removing the commented line where the password is in clear text).

From: Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [none] In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, edmund jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> typed: Thanks so much for your past help. Of course, I have another quetion. I've got X up and run Kdesk - coool. However, the browser -I haven't configured - debating on netscape. That brings me to install or not? The bsd ports site mentions that mozilla is comparatively large and that bsd\netscape 4.x has a security hole and the modules for linux.7x may be numerous, NOT TO MENTION TAKING ANY SUBSEQUENT OVERLAYS IT MIGHT PRODUCE. So I thought I'd ask what you think? I use bsd to emerse myself in a mixed network and will ultimately use it as a backend router/dns/mail server. Browsing would just be cool. I guess what as a novice Iam asking is could I risk netscape 4.x (would it compile and install for the CDROM or do I risk linux? Nothing earthshaking. Since your only reason for not using mozilla is the size, I'd go with mozilla. Netscape isn't exactly small itself - even if you only use netscape-navigator. I've also used skipstone, which is a very lightweight browser based on the Mozilla rendering engine. If you choose Mozilla, you will probably want to build it (assuming you despise the generic arch packages, like me) with the WITHOUT_MAILNEWS and WITHOUT_COMPOSER defines. They'll significantly decrease its size and compile time. - -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
