But Linux instructions won't work on FreeBSD because Linux isn't FreeBSD. I've pointed you to the relevant instructions for FreeBSD, including the sources from where I took them (and where you could have read them on your own). Except putting your identification data for a non-public WLAN into /etc/wps_supplicant.conf and configuring your WLAN interface there is nothing else to do. > Can be ,that local wlan would not accept freebsd No, it's not common (and against the idea of openness, inter- operability, and research in general) for a university to implement a means that allows Linux, Mac OS X, iOS and even "Windows" connect to a WLAN, but not FreeBSD. If WLAN _does not_ work even if you set up everything correctly, with FreeBSD you have the option to find out _why_. In worst case, ask those who maintain the actual WLAN access point(s) and network, they'll be happy to clarify if they intendedly "block" FreeBSD or if you just failed to configure your WLAN settings properly. :-) > than ideja of author to use more stable as linux platform freebsd > or solaris from start > is false I have no idea how an educated person could develop such a strange idea, sorry. And do you have instructions for setting up WLAN access with Solaris? Maybe they'll "block" it, too... ;-) Summary: Set up your wireless network as instructed, add your individual access credentials, and _try it_ before you make a wild ass guess. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
