Bug ID: 210362
Summary: Installer cannot identify hiden wireless network.
Product: Base System
Version: 10.3-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: wireless
Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: d...@gurkowski.com
During the installation process of the 10.3 release, the FreeBSD Installer was
unable to find my hidden wireless network during the network interface
configuration. I was told I should submit a bug report on this despite being
able to fix it through the wpa_supplicant.conf file afterwards due to it
potentially being a problem for newer users not experienced with manual
configuration.
The wpa_supplicant.conf that the installer created was empty so I solved the
problem by adding my network in this format:
network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="mywpa"
psk="mypsk"
}
This information was NOT available in the handbook and I stumbled into it by
accident on a 3rd party blog here: https://srobb.net/fbsdquickwireless.html.
