--yw+ZI5z1v7gXTTZL Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable After this morning's update of head from: FreeBSD g1-55.catwhisker.org 13.0-ALPHA1 FreeBSD 13.0-ALPHA1 #124 main-c256= 006-g8ca9ff4f28d2-dirty: Sat Jan 16 05:47:48 PST 2021 root@g1-55.catwhi= sker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/CANARY amd64 1300135 13001= 35 to: FreeBSD g1-55.catwhisker.org 13.0-ALPHA1 FreeBSD 13.0-ALPHA1 #125 main-c256= 026-gb7ab6832cd98-dirty: Sun Jan 17 04:49:26 PST 2021 root@g1-55.catwhi= sker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/CANARY amd64 1300135 13001= 35 on my laptop, the wireless link failed to associate by the time the xdm login screen came up. But when I logged in (on vty1) and issued: service netif restart wlan0 it associated right away. (There was no issue with the corresponding update for stable/12, so I have no reason to believe that there is an issue with the access point or the laptop -- with respect to associating properly, at least). And whether in head or stable/12, the woreless link has (for the past several months of daily tracking both head and stable/12) almost always associated by the time the xdm login screen comes up. I tried it 3 times; each time, it failed to associate. (I only tried the "service netif restart wlan0" the last 2 times -- the first time, vty1 wasn't usable because I had experimented with a /boot/loader.conf setting, which (as far as I know) is not relevant to this issue.) Peace, david --=20 David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org Mr. Trump: We did not need you to demonstrate the efficacy of the "big lie" propaganda technique quite so well -- really. Please stop.
