Hi Marco,
Thanks for responding. I tried adding this to /etc/rc.conf but there
was no change, the interface still doesn't come up:
create_args_wlan0="regdomain FCC country US authmode WPA powersave"
Here is the output from ifconfig after I manually brought up the
interface using the commands shown earlier:
# ifconfig wlan0

Greetings,
I've properly configured wpa_supplicant to join an
AP in my home and I have the following options in /etc/rc.conf:
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_iwlwifi0="WPA DHCP"
The interface does not come up after booting the laptop. In
troubleshooting I've found that I can manualy bring the interface up
using the following commands:
# ifconfig wlan0 up scan
# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf &
# dhclient wlan0
Once I bring up the interface, everything works as expected. I'm
composing and sending this email from the machine now that I've manually
brought up the interface.
Can you please show the ifconfig output after boot plus kldstat output?
Could it be you perhaps need to add a 'create_args_wlan0 statement to
rc.conf(5)?
I currently use: create_args_wlan0="regdomain ETSI country NL authmode WPA
powersave" where iwm(4) is the parent interface.
I'm using lagg(4) with failover with laggports em(4) and wlan(4) so my
config is a bit different but for the laggports I have a
create_args_iface in rc.conf(5)
I have no idea, why the interface does not come up automatically
following a boot. I've noticed errors loading up firmware for the
adapter and was wondering if this could be throwing off the timing
during boot?
Couldn't say but sounds plausible.
