This point without key. In 7.1 I use wpa_supplicant, but not sure that it was needed. I try to use wpa_supplicant in 8.0 -- no result

I use this config from 7.1, in older version everything worked correctly

what is Failed to disable WPA in the driver.

after use wpa_supplicant

I trying to correct wpa_supplicant.conf and at last wlan0 interface associated, but dhclient on wlan0 doesn't have packets. In dmesg out i find something wrong:

ipw0: need multicast update callback

what is it?

my /boot/loader.conf

...
legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
if_ipw_load="YES"
ipwfw_load="YES"
ipw_bss_load="YES"
ipw_ibss_load="YES"
ipw_monitor_load="YES"

What if you try wpa_supplicant.conf like this
ap_scan=1

network={
ssid="RADIOSPOT"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN
}

yes, with this wpa_supplicant.conf wlan0 interface associated with AP , but i have in dmesg message ipw0: need multicast update callback. My ipw0 interface dont send multicast message. I will create a new topic.
