My usual way of connecting to the Internet is using a USB WiFi dongle. This worked fine in FreeBSD 13.0 but stopped working immediately after I completed the upgrade to 13.1. The Ethernet connection is unaffected and still works fine.
I use the networkmgr package to manage my connections and this shows that the WiFi connection is still made but the symbol for a completed WiFi connection does not appear.
When I use this device at work, I connect via the "Guest" network and then log in via the portal, now the portal cannot be detected.
I will show the output from ifconfig:
I have changed the MAC addresses and bssids etc to anonymise.
ABC-GUEST is an open network which then requires authentication. Is there anything in the upgrade process that could have affected this? I am in the UK but it is showing FCC country as US, is this a problem?
