I'm sure I'm making a silly mistake in the config somewhere, but I'm working from these two pages: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicant.conf&sektion=5 and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html Situation as follows: multiple WAPS running multiple SSIDs, on multiple channels (1,6,11) but I'm only interested in one SSID. It's WPA PSK. The laptop is running 9.2-RELEASE and configured with the folllowing: >From /boot/loader.conf if_iwn_load="YES" wlan_wep_load="YES wlan_ccmp_load="YES" wlan_tkip_load="YES" >From /etc/rc.conf (DHCP configuration doesn't work, either) defaultrouter="192.168.15.1" wlans_iwn0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.15.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid wireless" >From /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network={ ssid="wireless" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="longrandompassword" } When I boot the machine, and run 'ifconfig wlan0', I see "status: no carrier". If I do 'ifconfig wlan0 scan', I get results, seeing the WAPs near me, etc., but I can't ping anything. When I manually run 'wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf', I get connection, and can ping from a different console session, but once I ^c out of wpa_supplicant, I lose the network. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing on this? Kurt
