I'd like to have my laptop reconnect automatically to my home network = whenever the line is dropped for some reason or other. I currently have = a script that does this for me, but I have to manually run it from the = command line. A nice feature of other linux systems is the nm-applet which keeps watch = and does it automatically for you, however I cannot seem to find an = equivalent utility in the FreeBSD ports. Is there a standard way of doing this with the wi driver? --=20 Kiffin Gish Gouda, The Netherlands
