> The way OpenBSD handles WiFi configuration is a good example of this. Want to connect to a wifi network? ifconfig <interface> <ESSID> <passphrase>. If you need some other fancy flags for those 0.1% of hotspots in the world, you can do those, too (also through ifconfig) but it's that simple.
Hmm, I'm surprised OpenBSD supports this, since it will cause the passphrase to get stored in your shell history in plaintext.
- yellowapple 11y agoI generally run it from a script that then prompts for the passphrase. I'm working on a little tool of my own to work as kind of a minimalist OpenBSD-specific network manager that'll store a list of encrypted passphrases and let me connect to a network without having to enter the passphrase and SSID each time.
