I have been able to connect once or twice, but usually the connection fails for some reason. The relevant logs have a couple of repeat= ing patterns: Authentication timed out: May 29 19:00:27 taipei wpa_supplicant[343]: wlan0: Trying to associate with 10:bf:48:53:10:2c (SSID=3D'Goat Net 5GHz' freq=3D5805 MHz) May 29 19:00:37 taipei wpa_supplicant[343]: wlan0: Authentication with 10:bf:48:53:10:2c timed out.

However, I did install wpa_supplicant version 2.5 using pkg. It told me to = add a line to rc.conf to use the installed wpa_supplicant instead of the base o= ne. I rebooted, and my problems disappeared. I don't know why, but apparently t= he newer version fixed some problem I was having. Can we upgrade the base version of wpa_supplicant from 2.0 to 2.5? I don't know what is involved in this, but if somebody will point me in the right direction I may be able to help out. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
