Yes I removed this line sorry. I am using a GENERIC kernel too, I
followed the DOCs to get the latest -current (CVS) recompiled kernel,
then userland.
When using wpaakms psk how do I use it? I tried:
/etc/hostname.ral0
inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect \
mediaopt hostap nwid obsd_wpa chan 8 \
wpa wpaakms psk <not displayed>
But when I did this no psk 0xAAAAA would show up in ifconfig.
