This morning, I lost Internet connectivity, then realised that the wlan0 file was missing from:

What did you try?

A good (obvious) question. Apologies for vagueness. Unfortunately, I can't give a /definite/ answer because early afternoon, before I first wrote, one of my cats thought it amusing to sit on the keyboard and somehow crash Xorg. So, I lost some Konsole windows with csh history and other essential information.

Available history, after a 14:47 restart of the OS, includes what's below.

Should I be surprised that service netif stop followed by /etc/netstart was insufficient for resolvconf(8) to automatically put what's required in the resolver(5) configuration file?

/etc/resolv.conf remained empty until after I destroyed wlan0 then began using em0. (I have ifconfig_em0: DHCP NOAUTO as outlined at <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-net/2022-November/002761.html>.)
