Let me explain this way: my previous setup, which used to work for me more than 3 years, was like this: defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" wlans_iwn0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 WPA ssid ABCDEFG" After upgrading to 11.0, I experienced a regression described in my original post. Per your suggestion that "ifconfig_iwn0=..." is "causing something to trip", I tried to remove that line, which resolved all my problems described in PR, but, of course, caused that no wlan is being created at boot. To overcome that problem, I now have this in my rc.conf: defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" if ifconfig | grep wlan0 ; then # do nothing else wlans_iwn0="wlan0" fi ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 WPA ssid ABCDEFG" And now it works just as it used to on 10.X. I asked if there was a more elegant way to achieve this. > Do you have /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf setup?

I have /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, but it is not convenient for me to use automatic switching of wifi networks: sometimes I need static IP, sometimes I have to use DHCP, so, AFAIU, I have to manually change such settings in rc.conf every time I switch. I mean, one can't have separate ifconfig_wlan0 settings for each entry in wpa_supplicant.conf. If I'm wrong, please correct me (but this was not my problem, just an inconvenience I used to live with). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
