Thanks to all who worked on it!

I think this is OK to import.

I know there has been a desire to have something in base to handle this
type of configuration for a while, and that would still be nice to have,
but as-is this is quite an improvement over the shell scripts that I'm
sure many of us have written (especially in terms of handling networks
with dubious SSIDs).

Done. Updated port based on Dmitrij's is attached.

Also done, thanks for the suggestions. Just made a new release. The port
already reflects that.

The path for the list of scanned networks can be configured now. If it's
not, no dump is performed.

porting changes:

- we're marking ports that use pledge in the Makefile, please add
"# uses pledge" before the WANTLIB line

- patch/sed /usr/local/sbin/wpa_cli -> ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/wpa_cli

- patch/sed /etc/wireless.conf -> ${SYSCONFDIR}/wireless.conf

upstream suggestions:

- copyright notices should be in each source code file not just in LICENSE

- /tmp/temp.XX would better as something more descriptive, perhaps
/tmp/wireless.XX

- not hugely keen on the fixed filename "if (rename(tmpname, "/tmp/nw-aps")..",
would this be better somewhere else, maybe under /var/run or /var/db?

I was just thinking.. the Makefile should include a line with

# uses pledge()

for tracking.  The application has been pledged

I would import this port with several minor tweaks:

 1. VERSION is used only once, and this variable has no special meaning
to ports infrastructure, so get rid of it.
 2. There are some whitespace issues in Makefile and pkg/DESCR.

The updated tarball is attached.  OK to import?

Thanks for this. Been using this for a while now, Would love to see this
in ports, maybe even in base if it qualifies. It could be called from
hostname.if and would simplify my laptop procedure quite a bit.

As a user of it for the last year, I'd appreciate it.  It
was last posted to ports@ for consideration in September.

New: net/wireless

[Gregor Best]

Hi ports-people,

some people on FreeNode's #openbsd asked me to submit a port for a
little utility I wrote that can be used to automate the "scan for my
wifi and configure it" process a bit.

The networks can be configured in a plaintext file in /etc that looks
like this:

device iwm0

wpagreg ThisAintMyPassword
802.1x eduroam
open   hochstift.freifunk.net/pad-city

scanning and configuration is then done via

wireless /path/to/my/config

for example.

For configuring 802.1x, it pokes wpa_supplicant. I'm not sure how one
would do a Debian-style "This port suggests another port"-message in the
ports system, so that might be something I'd need to add.

So yeah, does it make sense to have in the ports tree?

[NEW] net/wireless - automatically configure wifi

[Bryan Everly]

Hi ports@,

Gregor gave me permission to submit this port with myself as 
maintainer.  It is a very handy little tool that allows you to 
automatically attach to a known list of wifi networks based on a 
configuration file.  I have this running in my /etc/crontab to, every 
minute, test if I have network connectivity and if I don't, run this 
tool followed by a dhclient call to get an IP address.  I find it very 
useful.


If someone could please review this port for me and provide feedback, 
I'd very much appreciate it.


Thanks
