… I somehow managed to break what initially was perfectly working wifi. After putting my ssid and psk in wpa_supplicant.conf and and setting up my rc.conf accordingly, there seems to be absolutely nothing I can do to get it working with my wireless network adapter anymore. …
Samuel Venable hi, can you describe more about your setup?
13.0-RELEASE⋯, yes?
Do you use wpa_passphrase(8) to generate a key and if so, is the generated key (not the original passphrase) manually pasted into /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf?
Here
As far as I can tell, part of my problem is:
- unwanted connections to open networks such as BTWi-fi
- nothing useful is written to /etc/resolv.conf in response to
resolvconf -u
Code:
…
DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.1.1
bound to 192.168.1.11 -- renewal in 302400 seconds.

Problems were first observed whilst using n247326-2349cda44fe. Updating to n247565-b49ba74deeb has not resolved the situation.
It's possible that problems were latent much earlier, but not realised because I stopped using Wi-Fi:
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP NOAUTO"
– (the
NOAUTO
) due to slowness, which I know can not be solved by me.When I last started the computer without
NOAUTO
:- a considerable amount of time was wasted with automated connections to the unwanted open network,
wlan0
automatically going down very soon after automatically coming up, then again down soon after up, and so on - eventually, login became possible but I could not use the Internet.
The third is difficult to read but essentially, the system fell back to reusing a previously leased address (words to that effect) and the Internet was unusable.
