Hi FreeBSD users, I just started using FreeBSD on an IBM Thinkpad T41, Pentium M. I chose KDE as desktop manager and I have some questions, hopefully somebody can advice on what to do.
The first issue is with the wireless, at home my router is set up WPA-PSK, so I have edited my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and added the info for SSID and PSK, I have also edited my /etc/rc.conf file with the lines
I get online just fine but down the block my favorite coffee shop offers free Wi-Fi without passphrase so I connect to their router by editing the /etc/rc.conf file with the lines
So I think editing this file to connect at home then to connect to a public hot spot is a lot of work, so my question is: is there a setting that will work without having to be modifying the /etc/rc/conf file?
Thank you I will appreciate all your advice.

Code:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
