This is it! Read the man page!
man rc.conf says:
Code:
Also, if you want to configure your wireless interface with
wpa_supplicant(8) for use with WPA, EAP/LEAP or WEP, you need
to add ``WPA'' to the ifconfig_<interface> variable.
ok, so I add 'WPA' to my ifconfig_wlan0 value:
Code:
wlans_upgt0="wlan0"
wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 10.0.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 WPA ssid thewirelessssid country AU channel 11"
And it works.
Now I'm having trouble setting up aliases on additional IPs on the interface.
I might stop boring everyone with the details though.
Thanks again to everyone who helped.
