Hi everyone. I'm having an odd problem with wpa_supplicant and a hidden, unauthenticated access point. If I do 'ifconfig ndis0 scan', it brings up BSSIDs, but hidden names. I have desktopbsd-tools installed, so I tried accessing the AP using that, which I had to manually tell dbsd-nettray the SSID name for the AP in question. After doing so, I get 'Failed to connect', but '/etc/rc.d/netif restart ndis0' brings the interface back up, and reconnects. Now, to my real question: Where does SSID and AP MAC addresses get stored in the system? If I can manually (or script) the SSID name to the file, associated my MAC address of the access point, I can set this up via rc.local, and not need to load the dbsd-tools applet, which I cannot use anyway because of WPA at home. Thanks in advance. -- Glen Barber
