Okay, I had some free time today, so I decided to try and get the
wireless interface up and running on my FreeBSD 12.0 / amd 64 machine.
I thought I correctly configured the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file and
entered the correct into into the "/etc/rc.conf" file, but it is still
not working correctly. Anyway, this is the output when I attempt to restart=
the
network.
# service netif restart

dhclient not running? (check /var/run/dhclient/dhclient.wlan0.pid).

The "/var/run/dhclient/dhclient.wlan0.pid" exists, so I am not sure
what that error message is all about. Plus, I have no idea what the
"sendmsg on em0: Permission denied" repeated three times is referring
to.
The "wpa_supplicant.conf file:
network=3D{
ssid=3D"Scorpio-2g"
scan_ssid=3D1
key_mgmt=3DWPA-PSK
psk=3D"SECRET"
}
>From the "/etc/rc.conf file":
## Wireless
wlans_bwi0=3D"wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0=3D"ssid Scorpio-2g DHCP"
the "dmesg" output for this device:
bwi0: <Broadcom BCM4318 802.11b/g Wireless Lan> mem 0xfdefe000-0xfdefffff i=

It is situations like this that make me love
Microsoft. Connecting a wireless network should not require user
intervention other than choosing the network and entering the password.
