New EU RF directive - regulatory threat
Hi wirel...@freebsd.org, https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/03/11/eu_directive_ban_rf_radio_firmware_tink ering/ "Techies fear EU directive to stop RF device tinkering" It could impact beyond just wireless devices, ie OS's for routers too.

Re: Does FreeBSD periodically transmit all SSIDs its knows of ?

If some network blocks within a wpa_supplicant.conf have scan_ssid=1 then does FreeBSD actively sequence through sending directed Probe Request frames with known net names ? Or are you refering to ap_scan or some other command ? Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix C Sys Eng Consultant Munich http://berklix.com Indent previous with .

Re: Issues with urtwn
wpa_gui as a next step. In the upstream, wpa_gui is maintained together with wpa_supplicant by the same maintainer. Therefor wpa_gui has always been working fine with wpa_supplicant and might help you to create a consistent configuration. I too have found wpa_gui useful to detect syntax errs from my wpa_supplicant.conf ( useful to know same maintainer). Matthias, a word of warning: copy wpa_supplicant.conf before you enable update_config=1 because wpa_gui will discard all lines with comments.

Re: WPI (Intel wireless 3945ABG) strange behaviour
I was not aware rc.conf was so sensitive to white space ... I even think it shouldn't. rc.conf script is run by /bin/sh, one can test syntax by typing : /bin/sh . /etc/rc.conf set Good luck.

Re: WPI (Intel wireless 3945ABG) strange behaviour
Hi Chris cc wireless@ After reading quite some man pages, I finally have my laptop set up as follows : /etc/rc.conf : ifconfig_wlan0 = ssid myssid ifconfig_wlan0 =mode 11g ifconfig_wlan0 =-bgscan ifconfig_wlan0 = WPA DHCP ( I prefer wired nets only fumble with wireless when I must, but ) The above has multiple Bourne shell syntax errors. ifconfig_wlan0 = ssid myssid ^..^delete spaces ifconfig_wlan0 =mode 11g ^ delete space ifconfig_wlan0 =-bgscan ^ delete space ifconfig_wlan0 = WPA DHCP ^.^ delete spaces a test live with with /bin/sh: ifconfig_wlan0=ssid myssid ifconfig_wlan0=mode 11g ifconfig_wlan0=-bgscan ifconfig_wlan0=WPA DHCP echo $ifconfig_wlan0 see 3 previous assertions overwritten by the fourth. So try either ifconfig_wlan0=ssid myssid ifconfig_wlan0=$ifconfig_wlan0 mode 11g ifconfig_wlan0=$ifconfig_wlan0 -bgscan ifconfig_wlan0=$ifconfig_wlan0 WPA DHCP or ifconfig_wlan0=ssid myssid mode 11g -bgscan WPA DHCP Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix C Sys Eng Consultant Munich http://berklix.com Interleave replies Below, like a play script. ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: urtwn panic
Anthony Jenkins wrote: I'm getting a panic with the latest kernel (r264719) and the if_urtwn driver. Might the urtwn device overheat, not return cause a panic ? My urtwn device is very small, no thermal path to dump heat. I've not tried on current, but on 10.0-RELEASE I saw my urtwn0 interface disappearing; I read parts of the driver; noticed there's mention of a temperature level, I didn't tweak it, but hung my device on a USB extension cable at 10 C outside the window, later in front of a chassis input fan at ~ 20 C room temp., I think both locations lasted longer or perhaps indefinately without urtwn0 , can't remember, I suspended pursuing it.
