How can I get FreeBSD to do the same? Try setting up a wpa_supplicant configuration (and putting "WPA DHCP" in=20 rc.conf); that does the proximity-switching for you (and does so for me,=20 happily). I don't really know whether wpa_supplicant works with non-security-enabled= =20 (i.e. non-WEP and non-WPA) wireless networks, but I guess there's a switch = to=20 tell it to do so. =2D-=20 Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development =2D------------------------------------ Office Germany - EXPO PARK HANNOVER =20 Beenic Networks GmbH Mail=E4nder Stra=DFe 2 30539 Hannover =20 =46on +49 511 / 590 935 - 15 =46ax +49 511 / 590 935 - 29 Mail wundram@beenic.net Beenic Networks GmbH =2D------------------------------------ Sitz der Gesellschaft: Hannover Gesch=E4ftsf=FChrer: Jorge Delgado Registernummer: HRB 61869 Registergericht: Amtsgericht Hannover
