Hello, Ok... I've got wpa_supplicant working fine. Even starts up when I boot (Thx Bakul). But now I would like it to work with multiple networks. I believe my wpa_supplicant.conf is setup properly (appended to bottom). The problem appears to be that my multiple networks are "different media", so to speak. One is b the other g.... one is on channel 11 the other 6.... one is defaulting to one wep key the other is different. It never tries anything but my home networks "media" type. That being the last media it successfully connected to. If I manually change things using ifconfig... it will associate with the office network. But seems this should be automatic. How (in wpa_supplicant.conf maybe?) can I give it a few types of media to cycle through like it does the network blocks? I would think it logical to have a "media" parameter=value pair inside the network block but I don't see it in the man page. I have seen recent (a month or so) posts saying the man pages have not yet been updated.. maybe that is still the case. So a second question would be... where can I find an additional source of current info on wpa_supplicant configuration? I have looked through man pages, online manual, FreeBSD mail lists, etc... maybe I'm just not looking for the right stuff. Pointers would be appreciated. Thanks for the help. My wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel # Home Network network={ ssid="MySSID" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=NONE wep_tx_keyidx=0 wep_key0="MyPassphrase" } # Office Network network={ ssid="OfficeSSID" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=NONE wep_tx_keyidx=0 wep_key0="OfficePassphrase" } -- Regards, Eric
