Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|New |Open CC| |bz@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #8 from Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Chris Hutchinson from comment #7) Chris: that does specify a default policy I wouldn't be comfortable with as= any (rogue) AP w/o authentication will be taken if I read it right and that gets your laptop randomly on networks. bsdinstall should create a wpa_supplicant.conf on install if I am not mista= ken if the wlan interface gets configured (I know for some other pre-reqs may be needed which we do not yet have); in theory if someone would finish it bsdconfig would also configure it. A user specifying WPA in rc.conf as a meta-flag will also have to provide a wpa_supplicant.conf file as otherwise it is pointless. I think we got de-railed from the actual problem; even if wpa_sipplicant d= oes not start the configuration of the wlan interface should continue and be brought UP. Gleb: I wonder if it is actually the error of wpa_supplicant not starting or the fact that only meta keywords (WPA DHCP) were given. I wonder what happ= ens if a use would say: ifconfig_wlan0=3D"up WPA DHCP" That may likely suffice the original request that the interface be brought = up so that scan results are usefully available? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
