Many thanks. I skiped that one while reading the manual. But now it
works well.

May I assume, that you can create multiple wlan\d devices on one and the
sane iwn0 kernel device?


Now, I have wpa_supplicant working, in a way that it is automatically
searching for an available wifi network. This is triggered in the
/etc/rc.conf file during boot.

I may have some follow-up questions:

  Q: service netif stop, shuts everything down, but the wpa_supplicant
  process withstands from going down and starts to loop 100% cpu cyles
  :/

  Q: How can I just shutdown a single network interface? Keeping others
  up and with the adjustment of the default routing.


Many thanks in advance,
