I'm surprised that network via DHCP isn't coming up automatically. Perhaps FreeBSD supports that and the author just didn't use it?
(I used FreeBSD a looong time ago, and am vaguely thinking of trying again one day, so it would be interesting to know.)
- krylon 4y agoThe installer asks you about your network configuration (no idea how it deals with wifi, though). If you answer "use DHCP", it just works(tm), at least for wired and virtual network interfaces.
- craftkiller 4y agoYeah I was surprised the author did all the setup necessary to get their wifi card working and then resorted to manually launching dhclient and wpa_supplicant. All the author needed to add to their /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/rc.conf.d/network) is something along the lines of: ifconfig_wlan0="up WPA DHCP" and then optionally add IPv6 (though the posted article seems to be preferring IPv4): ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
