-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It looks like wpa_supplicant is the "right way" to configure wireless as of FreeBSD 6. I'd like to start it on boot. However, I can't figure out how to start it without dhclient also running on boot. Since I don't always boot near an AP, this isn't appropriate. If I use network_interfaces="lo0 ath0" ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" then it starts wpa_supplicant, and immediately starts dhclient as well. If I take out DHCP network_interfaces="lo0 ath0" ifconfig_ath0="WPA" then wpa_supplicant doesn't start dhclient when it gets a connection I can get something close to the right behavior by setting network_interfaces="lo0" ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" This way, wpa_supplicant doesn't start on boot, but I can start it after boot with /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start ath0 and get the right behavior. Is there a way to get wpa_supplicant to start on boot, and only start dhclient as a result of the link-state event, not directly during boot? - -- Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFC5rs1pt3yYclAKVsRAsTWAJ9VhP9RtwXd3a0q1TPePr66rpEwxgCeIeZ7 JXOqziWjhb9ldWGHgok1N7o= =+2gW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
