I was making it more complicated than it is. Also thanks for other peoples' posts. I might have WPA-PSK faster than I thought.

Re: How do you start a non-standard daemon/program near end of boot?
I've read all the relevant boot and rc type manuals and they only give a vague reference to starting programs with rc.local or rc.conf.local. I want to start wpa_supplicant and I haven't seen any variables for doing it. Some OS's have the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory for such purposes. It's pretty clear here that you should put it inside /etc/rc.local: http://openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#rc Just as the example in the docs provide: if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/daemonx ]; then echo -n ' daemonx'; /usr/local/sbin/daemonx fi Obviously, you need to know how to start the daemon you want to use. Then if you want to shut it down, use the rc.shutdown, also in the docs. Best, Daniel

Have you tried $ sudo mg /etc/rc.local yet? rc.conf is just a shell script that gives variables which /etc/rc reads and uses to decide what to launch rc.local is just a shell script that gets run at the end of /etc/rc Put your calls in rc.local or make /etc/rc.mydaemons and call it from /etc/rc or something. It's a pretty simple system. -Nick

Thanks, Rob Just add arbitrary commands to /etc/rc.local - it is executed at the end of the boot process.
