That is for stuff set via set, but when it comes to the individual network variables, not all of these have a default value other than not defined, AFAIK, and setting them back to the defaults as far as I can tell is impossible for some. A example of this is the bssid variable. Once this has been set, I've been unable to find any way to remove it via wpa_cli. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Nothing I said was intended as rude and was phrased in a neutral manner. Personally this knee jerk reaction to assume I was being hostile etc is a lot more annoying and insulting than any thing. As to any confusion as to what I was talking about I am still lost as to how some one would come any thing shell related given wpa_cli was very specifically stated in the subject. I actually though there was a a Robert was trying to be an ass with his reply about shell related stuff given that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You can set them back to their default values, but they must have a value. Defaults from looking at the source: EAPOL::heldPeriod = 60 EAPOL::startPeriod = 30 EAPOL::maxStart = 3 EAPOL::authPeriod = 30 dot11RSNAConfigPMKLifetime = 43200 dot11RSNAConfigPMKReauthThreshold = 70 dot11RSNAConfigSATimeout = 60 Running "set" from within wpa_cli should print these values, too, according to the manpage. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

How about you give us a little more context and offer to converse with us instead of treating us like machines who blindly spit out answers (right or wrong, doesn't matter, you've equated us to machines!) Robert did the best he could with the little bit of information you gave us. Even after reading your e-mail, I was left wondering what variables (with in or without wpa_cli) you were talking about and also jumped to the conclusion of shell environment variables. A rather blunt note for you (and I've learned this first hand). If you are rude on an Open Source mailing-list, the chances of you getting help drop, dramatically.
