There is no /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf because per defailt, this file does not exist - and wifimgr should be the interface to that kind of configuration. The WLAN interface is started as "no carrier" after boot as expected. In X, when I start "wifimgr", it asks (in German!) for the root password, then complains about no WiFi interface being configured in rc.conf. What amount of configuration does it expect? The program then exits. Sidenote 1: The "wpa_gui" program displays just fine (not in German), but none of the buttons does do anything; "Scan" oens a "Scan results" window with an empty list, pressing the "Scan" button doesn't change that. Sidenote 2: The "networkmgr" program doesn't show anything on screen, but the terminal I started it from contains: % networkmgr Your wired network card is already configured. Your wired network card is already configured. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/netcardmgr", line 96, in autoConfigure() File "/usr/local/bin/netcardmgr", line 63, in __init__ ifwifi =3D wifiscards[0].rstrip() IndexError: list index out of range ^C Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/networkmgr", line 13, in i.tray() File "/usr/local/share/networkmgr/trayicon.py", line 335, in tray gtk.main() KeyboardInterrupt I'm using fvwm2, there is no tray... And note that it mentions twice (!) that the wired network card is already configured - that card isn't connected to anything (rc.conf has DHCP). Am I missing something? --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
