Networking • Re: Edimax EW-7811un Wifi USB nano dongle;

Here is some reading material that I wrote about setting up a manual connection to Wifi . Look at both forum posts. They are slightly different. You can learn from them both.
Edit 3 files /boot/loader.conf /etc/rc.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhclient wlan0

NetworkMgr is the Eric Turgeon created Python application that does edit those 3 files and runs the wpa_supplicant and dhclient (or dhcpcd ) to make your wifi connection. please note: ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"; use for encrypted wifi signeals ; use ifconfig_wlan0_="DHCP" for open non-encrypted wifi signals. "WPA DHCP" will not connect with an open wifi access point. Took me a whole day of testing to figure out this little tid bit!
