17.1 Legacy Series / Wireless WAN
July 24, 2017, 10:44:21 AM
Hi,
I was trying to setup a wireless WAN, but can't quite seem to get it to work automatically.
I made the /etc/wpa_supplicant file. I can connect running the below command
$ wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant -i ath0_wlan0

However, I cannot get it to launch automatically after boot.
I tried following this guide here:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html

I adding those two lines into /etc/rc.conf file (wasn't there previously). I also tried adding those two lines to /etc/rc.d/netif. After rebooting, it still doesn't come up. After running "service netif restart", I finally got it to at least try to connect to my SSID, but it wasn't actually connecting/using WPA or something.  Also, the routing table seemed to have gotten messed up -- neither LAN's were routing over to my WAN after manually connecting.

Any suggestions? I'm quite new to freebsd. I'm more used to the linux version of rc :)
