It was working fine on releng_6. > I believe that you don't realize that under FreeBSD 8, you now have to use a wlan interface.
Under FreeBSD7.2, I used a Windows ethernet driver, wrapped with NDIS (see ndisgen). Here's the line from /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_ndis0="wpa dhcp" Note that this line is simplified because a lot of the info, like SSID, is in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. (yes, I put it there) Under FreeBSD8.0R, you must use the wlan interface. wlans_ndis0="wlan0" # wlan(4) interfaces for ndis0 device ifconfig_wlan0="wpa syncdhcp" I have to syncdhcp because I had this wireless device as the only network, and later in the boot process, ntpd will want to access Time Servers on the Internet.
