--- Comment #2 from Chris Hutchinson <portmaster@bsdforge.com> ---
I'm not arguing against anything that makes wifi easier or more
intuitive. As it can be a bit of a PITA. ;)
But as I understand it; using "WPA DHCP" includes
the wpa_supplicant(5) helper. So I think you must have to have
at a wpa_supplicant.conf(5) that contains at least:
eapol_version=3D2
ap_scan=3D1
Then it's as simple as:
ifconfig wlan0 up && ifconfig wlan0 list scan
I noticed you didn't include "list" in your command.

This is how I understand it, anyway.
