I skiped that one while reading the manual. But now it works well. May I assume, that you can create multiple wlan\d devices on one and the sane iwn0 kernel device? Now, I have wpa_supplicant working, in a way that it is automatically searching for an available wifi network. This is triggered in the /etc/rc.conf file during boot. I may have some follow-up questions: Q: service netif stop, shuts everything down, but the wpa_supplicant process withstands from going down and starts to loop 100% cpu cyles :/ Q: How can I just shutdown a single network interface? Keeping others up and with the adjustment of the default routing. Many thanks in advance, -- Bastian
