Worked like a hot damn, and let me finally use WPA-PSK (D-LINK DWL-G650 rev. b2, NetGEAR WG511T, built-in Atheros AR5212, connected to a D-LINK DWL DI 624 rev. c1) in Windows XP and FreeBSD. Then wpa_supplicant was imported into the base for 6-CURRENT, and I just copied my conf file over to /etc, uninstalled the port, added WPA to the ifconfig line in rc.conf, and kept on trucking. Maybe the wpa_supplicant port has been updated to the point it no longer works with 5.x, but there was a good 6 months there where I used it regularly. -- Freddie Cash fcash@ocis.net
