That NIC is explicitly listed in wi(4) as supported. * On killing & re-starting wpa-supplicant, ifconfig(8) shows another "fake" association to an access point with a null SSDI, but this time, using channel 8 (vs. the use of 3 in the previously-cited example). * I have a 3rd access point (that is small enough that I'm in the habit of keeping it in my laptop bag when it's not in use). Since it, unlike the previously-cited access points, is not normally being used by other folks, I can experiment with its settings as part of testing, if that would be useful. * I also have available an iwi(4) miniPCI card for which wpa_supplicant has worked. However, I'd prefer to minimize switching the miniPCI cards back & forth, as it's a bit difficult to get the antenna lead reconnected each time, and breaking the lead is pretty easy (I've managed to accomplish this once before, much to my chagrin and annoyance). I will start poking around again to see if I can persuade wpa_cli to do something useful. Peace, david --=20 David H.
