There is a workaround: ifconfig accepts pre-hashed WPA keys Tools such as this will generate the required hash: https://www.wireshark.org/tools/wpa-psk.html (We used to have a wpa-psk tool in base but it's been removed.) Put your SSID and passphrase in there, and the tool will generate a long hex string: d7a38e9a542a82f19af0b2117687e43ba4cc60afeb742539ecd326fdee6b70b8 This hex string can be passed as wpakey by prefixing the string with "0x": # ifconfig iwx0 join foo wpakey 0xd7a38e9a542a82f19af0b2117687e43ba4cc60afeb742539ecd326fdee6b70b8 # ifconfig iwx0 joinlist | grep foo foo wpaprotos wpa2 wpaakms psk wpaciphers ccmp wpagroupcipher ccmp
