Background: https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/81045/post-519276
Environment:
create_args_wlan0="country GB regdomain etsi"
wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP NOAUTO"
- FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT
As far as I can tell, if networkmgr
(5.5) is running, then ifconfig wlan0 up
:
- results in unwanted connections to open networks
- does not reliably connect to the required network.
After killing networkmgr
:
ifconfig wlan0 destroy
thenservice netif start wlan0
resulted in connection to the required network.

Sorry, it seems that the result following a kill of networkmgr was misleading.
The problem – inappropriate connections to open Wi-Fi networks – is reproducible with networkmgr deleted from the OS, followed by a restart of the OS.
