In /etc/rc.conf, I currently have only: wlans_wpi0=3D"wlan0".
There is no /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf because per defailt, this
file does not exist - and wifimgr should be the interface to
that kind of configuration.
The WLAN interface is started as "no carrier" after boot as
expected. In X, when I start "wifimgr", it asks (in German!)
for the root password, then complains about no WiFi interface
being configured in rc.conf.
What amount of configuration does it expect?
The program then exits.
Sidenote 1:
The "wpa_gui" program displays just fine (not in German), but
none of the buttons does do anything; "Scan" oens a "Scan results"
window with an empty list, pressing the "Scan" button doesn't
change that.
Sidenote 2:
The "networkmgr" program doesn't show anything on screen, but
the terminal I started it from contains:
% networkmgr
Your wired network card is already configured.

I'm using fvwm2, there is no tray...
And note that it mentions twice (!) that the wired network
card is already configured - that card isn't connected to
anything (rc.conf has DHCP).
Am I missing something?
