Is there a dhcp command in FreeBSD 5.3? I know in Linux, there was a command "dhcpcd" that I had to use in order for my WiFi NIC to get all the information that it needed. Is there something similar to this? Thanks. (1 Reply)
All,
I am a bit of a BSD newbie and haven't really played with it for years, but I have had a recent situation whereby someone attempted to load a custom kernel module and ended up breaking my BSD server.
I managed to fix it by doing the following:

Hi!
I have a major issue with FreeBSD 7.1 i386.
We did a change in our Unix env where we exchanged home storage from a NetAPP running udp to a NetAPP running tcp.
Now I cant mount homedirs since NFS/AMD seem to fallback to udp :(
Trying to force it with amd options nfs_proto=tcp and so on.

wpa_supplicant
WPA_SUPPLICANT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual WPA_SUPPLICANT(8)NAME
wpa_supplicant -- WPA/802.11i Supplicant for wireless network devices
SYNOPSIS
wpa_supplicant [-BdhKLqstuvW] [-b br_ifname] -c config-file [-C ctrl] [-D driver] [-f debug file] [-g global ctrl] -i ifname
[-o override driver] [-O override ctrl] [-P pid file] [-N -i ifname -c config-file [-C ctrl] [-D -driver] [-p driver_param]
[-b br_ifname] ...]
DESCRIPTION
The wpa_supplicant utility is an implementation of the WPA Supplicant component, i.e., the part that runs in the client stations. It imple-
ments WPA key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and EAP authentication with an Authentication Server. In addition, wpa_supplicant con-
trols the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association support of the wlan(4) module and can be used to configure static WEP keys based
on identified networks.
The wpa_supplicant utility is designed to be a ``daemon'' program that runs in the background and acts as the backend component controlling
the wireless connection. It supports separate frontend programs such as the text-based wpa_cli(8) program.
The following arguments must be specified on the command line:
-i ifname
Use the specified wireless interface.
-c config-file
Use the settings in the specified configuration file when managing the wireless interface. See wpa_supplicant.conf(5) for a descrip-
tion of the configuration file syntax and contents.
Changes to the configuration file can be reloaded by sending a SIGHUP to the wpa_supplicant process or with the wpa_cli(8) utility,
using ``wpa_cli reconfigure''.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-b Optional bridge interface name.
-B Detach from the controlling terminal and run as a daemon process in the background.
-d Enable debugging messages. If this option is supplied twice, more verbose messages are displayed.
-D Driver name (can be multiple drivers: nl80211,wext).
-f Log output to debug file instead of stdout.
-g Global ctrl_interface.
-h Show help text.
-K Include key information in debugging output.
-L Display the license for this program on the terminal and exit.
-N Start describing a new interface.
-o Overrides driver parameter for new interfaces.
-O Override ctrl_interface parameter for new interfaces.
-p Specify driver parameters.
-P File in which to save the process PID.
-q Decrease debugging verbosity (i.e., counteract the use of the -d flag).
-s Send log messages through syslog(3) instead of to the terminal.
-t Include timestamp in debug messages.
-u Enable DBus control interface.
-v Display version information on the terminal and exit.
-W Wait for a control interface monitor before starting.
