Hostapd starts without wpa2 but doesn't start with wpa2. Have I forgotten something here? pciconf -lv for the card I'm using: rtwn0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=0x8176 subvendor=0x10ec subdevice=0x8211 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'...

Hi! I managed to set up my FreeBSD server as a router and wireless access point in my home network. My Ubuntu Laptop connects fine but my Android phone is not able to connect via wpa2-psk when the passphrase is longer than 15 characters. However the access point before did use a much longer...

Hi, Is there any chance to get the hostnames of connected to FreeBSD WiFi access point interface? I have a natd on wlan0. Is there any dialog application to monitor network traffic? Best regards!
