I was using it so that I had an ip by the time I finished booting instead of waiting for dhcpcd to fail, finish booting, and then having to run /etc/rc.d/network restart. I think it had something to do with wpa_supplicant starting up too late in the boot process.
Ahh, okay. Yeah, in my case, it's a hard-wire ethernet, so except for the normal couple-second wait for link negotiation, it should be just fine. That's why I'd tried -w, to avoid the failures I was later getting from ntpdate.
But, it appears to just crash when I give it a -w. I may fall back to dhclient.
I never did get anything from anyone on pro's or con's of either. Anyone?
