Well, it sounds like we need to pick an architecture _and_ fix the behaviour here. Which is: * I think wpa-supplicant should always run if it's required in /etc/rc.conf; * netif should check if devd is configured and if so, just leave the configuration up to devd * if it isn't running, then devd should be responsible for dhclient/add-to-wpa-config What we first have to establish is whether add_interface and remove_interface (or whatever they're called) are correctly working, for ethernet and wifi driver types. Then, we need to ensure they can coexist (ie, one wpa_supplicant, but with both ethernet/wifi drivers loaded and active on their relevant interfaces.) _then_ we can break out the "stuff devd does" out of netif and have _either_ netif (x)or devd call this new script to setup/teardown the interface runtime state. How's that sound? -adrian
