In the context that most users will see it, here's what the default looks
like now:
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::240:36ff:fe01:b0f7%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
ether 00:40:36:01:b0:f7
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <flag0,hostap> (DS/2Mbps <hostap>)
status: associated
ssid " " 1:" "
stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
channel 3 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
wepmode ON weptxkey 1
wepkey 1:40-bit wepkey 2:40-bit wepkey 3:40-bit wepkey 4:40-bit
If you still feel it should be different, I'll change it to "<default>" I
guess, but I tried to pick the "most empty" SSID I could, in lieu of what
would otherwise be the "completely empty" SSID.
