wpa-psk was retired in 4.9 or thereabouts. For WPA with a simple pre-shared key these days you would put something like this in your /etc/hostname.if up nwid unwiredbsd wpakey mylongpassphrase dhcp rtsol (where .if would be, say .iwm0, .iwn0 etc) If there are FAQ-style (or ugh, HOWTO-style) documents out there that still mention manual conversion of your passphrase via wpa-psk as a viable option, please to everybody a favor and contact their authors to either update or remove. -- Peter N.
