But I am confused of > whether it supports WPA in kernel and what to do to use it correctly. The WPA support in FreeBSD 8.0 (and CURRENT) works well as far as I know. Well, I suppose this depends on the wireless card and chipset you have (I have an Intel card with a 4965AGN chipset). If you want to use WPA, you need to use wpa_supplicant to configure the WPA settings (create a wpa_supplicant.conf config file in /etc). Look for the wpa_supplicant manpage and also the entry dating 20080420 in /usr/src/UPDATING for explanation about how to configure it correctly. > > Please give me some advice , thank you! > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > ------------ Aman Jassal Wisdom comes from experience.
