Re: Unable to join open WEP wireless network

I'm not sure if you have a similar set up, but thought I'd share this since it took me awhile to figure out. This configuration worked for me when trying to use a password-less wifi with an athn device. I changed athn0 to iwi0 below... In /etc/rc.conf: dhcpcd=YES dhcpcd_flags="-g -4 -q -b -n

named time-out errors

I've been running my own forwarding bind server for awhile, and after updating my i386 7.0 machine about 2 weeks ago I started get named errors like 24-Mar-2016 09:58:50.695 client 0xb992b800 (svn.freebsd.org): query_find: unexpected error after resuming: timed out 24-Mar-2016 09:58:50.695
