This at least makes the program work. However, none of the nearby networks is recognized, it only displays an empty list, and re-scanning doesn't change that. However, using CLI tools I can easily get a list of approx. 10 wireless networks. The "WiFi on/off" button on the left also doesn't do anything, and there is no GUI indication if the WiFi is on or off. The corresponding LED is off (probably only flashes when there is wireless traffic). Now there is a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file with only one comment line which says that is has been written by wifimgr. So access to that file works. But there is nothing I could save to this file because no network is being displayed. Anything else I need to do? --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
