Dear freebsd users,
I have an acer aspire 1 running freebsd and I was able to connect with
wireless when I ran freebsd 9 on it. Now running freebsd 11 and I get
no carrier problems.
I used to connect by following wblock's advice given in :
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/wireless.html
I have followed steps carefully and have added to /etc/rc.conf
root at aceraspire:~ # cat /etc/rc.conf | grep 'wlan0'
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
root at aceraspire:~ # cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="GrullaHS"
psk="password_goes_here"
}

root at aceraspire:~ # ifconfig wlan0 list scan

How can I troubleshoot so I can get the wireless on this machine going?
It used to connect without problems. Now I am using wired connection.
Please advice me. I tried to add networkmgr by using pkg, but it is
not available
root at aceraspire:~ # pkg install networkmgr
