hi! Just do ifconfig wlan0 up - then wait; it'll do scan itself. then "ifconfig wlan0 list scan" -a On 1 April 2018 at 05:24, Alex Andrews <mail@alexandrews.me.uk> wrote: > Hi, > > Sorry, I got your contact details from the FreeBSD Wiki page for WiFi ideas. I am a newbie to FreeBSD (plenty of Windows experience, and a little Linux experience) but I just can't get the wifi working on my MSI X-610 laptop under FreeBSD 11.1. I have followed all of the instructions and asked for help on the forum, but "ifconfig wlan0 up scan" just produces no output even though I know there are about a dozen wifi access points in range. I suspect it is a problem with the driver, but I'm not sure how to verify that. What would be really useful is a simple wifi debugging tool that could run through all of the steps necessary to get a wifi card working (check the driver is loaded and working, check "syctl net.lan.devices", then check /etc/rc.conf for the correct wlans_ and ifconfig_ entries, etc etc). I imagine this would be a fairly simple task for someone with the appropriate knowledge/skill set, and I am sure others would find it useful too.
