I would like the WLAN interface on my laptop to be down by default but ready to connect to my network with a simple
ifconfig wlan0 up
.Everything works as expected with the following configuration:
/etc/rc.conf
Code:
wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP country CH"
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
network={
ssid="myssid"
psk="mypsk"
priority=1
}
... but that automatically connects the interface at boot, which is not what I want.
So, I tried to use NOAUTO:
Code:
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP NOAUTO country CH"
As expected, no automatic connection occurs.
However, when turning on the interface with
ifconfig wlan0 up
