Re: wireless configuration



With OpenBSD, one can completely configure a wireless interface by creating a file like:

== /etc/hostname.urtw0
nwid 'My SSID'
wpakey my_key
dhcp
==

This is Really Neat if you are using USB wifi dongles .. it will only get actioned when you insert a 'urtw0' dongle.
And you can have a similar file called /etc/hostname.urtwn0 which will only get actioned when you insert a 'urtwn0' dongle.
No wpa_supplicant file, no entries for wpa_supplicant or dhclient in /etc/rc.local!

So one should be able to use a similar syntax in a NetBSD /etc/interface.urtw0 file. How can one accomplish this?
