connect to wifi networks without GUI
Before hoping in the unknown,
I would like to know a sure way, to access a crypted wifi network in command line. Do the tools ifconfig, iwlist, and iwconfig work also on netbds ? I think the first has an equivalent, but I can't see the two others. Can I connect to a wifi network without GUI ? Or maybe there's already a standar desktop environnement on NBSD 7 ? Mehdi |

Other useful tools in the base are ifconfig(8) and wlanctl(8).
For example, if the wireless interface is athn0, # ifconfig athn0 up # ifconfig athn0 list scan will show local wifi networks. |

NetBSD - How to use wpa_supplicant
You can also save some typing by generating your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf by redirecting the output of wpa_passphrase(8) into /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf # wpa_passphrase YourSSID Your PassPhrase >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

thanks. I'll try right away, after i'm also sure I know how to partition a pre-existing windows installed disk. That promised to somewhat more insecure.

As GUI you can test dhcpd-gtk, but you will need to change permsissions for /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/dhcpcd.conf in order the program can write in them.
