In current CURRENT, you have to create | these wlan devices. One way is to put lines something like this into | rc.conf: | | wlans_iwn0="wlan0" | ifconfig_wlan0="ssid crazylegs DHCP" | | To be honest, I am still at a loss as to how I managed to figure this | out - I guess I got luckier with the googles. "man ifconfig" helps, but | you have to read the right parts. "vi /etc/default/rc.conf" also | provided some clues. The entry 20080420 in /usr/src/UPDATING does its job as well :) | | Stephen | _______________________________________________ | freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list | http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current | To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" - -- Pietro Cerutti gahr@FreeBSD.org PGP Public Key: http://gahr.ch/pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEAREKAAYFAkhh6TUACgkQwMJqmJVx944eVwCgq3KoKoOmwWqy78vXV5q09zlC nmUAn37ZMlTSMppKZU5oBWHduyy2Kk7w =vFgq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
