hostapd drives the hostap side of session and encryption management. You need a hostapd config file to enable WPA/WPA2 and encryption. Put this in /etc/hostapd.conf interface=wlan0 driver=bsd ssid=SSID_THAT_YOU_WANT wpa=3 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_passphrase=PSK_THAT_YOU_WANT wpa_pairwise=CCMP ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd Then in rc.conf hostapd_enable="YES" Then reboot. It should start hostapd for you. -adrain On 23 July 2013 07:31, Sam Fourman Jr. <sfourman@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Tue, Jul 23, 2013 at 10:22 AM, Adrian Chadd <adrian@freebsd.org> wrote: >> >> I don't think so.
