https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210362 Bug ID: 210362 Summary: Installer cannot identify hiden wireless network. Product: Base System Version: 10.3-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: wireless Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org Reporter: drew@gurkowski.com During the installation process of the 10.3 release, the FreeBSD Installer was unable to find my hidden wireless network during the network interface configuration. I was told I should submit a bug report on this despite being able to fix it through the wpa_supplicant.conf file afterwards due to it potentially being a problem for newer users not experienced with manual configuration. The wpa_supplicant.conf that the installer created was empty so I solved the problem by adding my network in this format: network={ scan_ssid=1 ssid="mywpa" psk="mypsk" } This information was NOT available in the handbook and I stumbled into it by accident on a 3rd party blog here: https://srobb.net/fbsdquickwireless.html. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
