I've always heard countless rumors about WPA being wise :) I'll take your advice and take a step up in technology. My "stubborn conservatism" probably roots back to the time when not all devices could do WPA, or at least I had crazy trouble getting things to work. But this learned attitude was probably around 2000, which was like a million years ago with dinosaurs and stuff. Time for me to finally get with it. I found the lagg documenation in docs http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-aggregation.html Duh! I went through wireless section in the handbook several times, I don't know how i missed this paragraph in 32.3.6: "We will cover link aggregation and failover in Section 32.6 where an example for using both wired and wireless connection is also provided at Example 32-3 ."
