I mentioned this on IRC the other day, but thought I'd bring it here for lack of response.
I'm running a Thinkpad T410 with intel wireless (iwn0). I configured /etc/hostname.iwn0 like this: -inet6 dhcp I've learned that putting dhcp in a wireless interfaces configuration is not helpful and have since corrected my hostname.iwn0. However, the behavior this misconfiguration led to was odd, and may be worth investigating further. When I would boot my machine with aforementioned hostname configuration, it would grab on to any unsecured access point it could find and connect to it. My system was never configured to connect to the access point. I would suggest that this behavior is undesirable. I do not want my computer connecting to an access point I have not explicitly configured (unsecured or not). I am assumming this is not aberrant behavior to my particular machine and it may be simply replicated on any -current platform by booting with "dhcp" in a wireless config with an open AP within range. Thanks, Dale M.C. (irc handle awoserra)
