I am just trying to find out if theres an easier way to do this. =20 =20 currently to get wireless to work on my system=2C i have to clone the wirel= ess interface to a wlan0 interface to actually do any real connections. My = home network uses WPA2 encryption so i use the wpa-supplicant to set that u= p=2C but if i go out and about and hit free wifi spots=2C I have to add the= info for them into the wpa-supplicant.conf file to get it to access it. =20 keep in mind that ideally I use the latest gnome as my desktop. is there an= easier tool to do this all with? I remember there was an issue with the gn= ome-network tool that it could not actually make any changes in freebsd=2C = but i cannot find if that is still true or if it has been fixed. =20 End goal=2C I am trying to get this set up to be equally as idiot-proof as = most linux distros in case i have to hand this off to someone a bit less te= chnically inclined. =20 =20 sorry if this is a bit hard to read=2C i have ADHD so it someti..OHLOOKASQU= IRREL =20 -Sean =
