Hello,
Because I connect to many different wireless networks around work, very often and there is no decent GUI/CUI, I currently have a few scripts that I run as su which look a little like this...
Now, this sometimes fails because dhclient times out before wpa_supplicant has made a connection...
Does anyone have any suggestions of how best to do this?
Personally OpenBSD has a great solution of allowing wpa to be configured in their ifconfig. However, I generally prefer FreeBSD (packages are more plentyful for one!)
Best Regards,
Karsten
EDIT: Sorry, this should be in the mobile computing section
