            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.=20

The wpa_supplicant.conf that the installer created was empty so I solved the
problem by adding my network in this format:

network=3D{
        scan_ssid=3D1
        ssid=3D"mywpa"
        psk=3D"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.
