Thank you, Sean!


rc.conf has:

wlans_iwn0="wlan0"

ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"

wpa_supplicant_program="/usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant"


This worked before, and the only thing that has changed is that the system was updated.

The interface run0 exists.
After I run this command manually: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev run0
wpa_supplicant works. But before this happened automatically, now it doesn't happen, and wpa_supplicant just fails.

Something in the system update affected the interoperability with wpa_supplicant.
