>Description:
I installed the FreeBSD 9.0-Beta2 using the new installer. I have a urtw wireless usb adapter and the installer correctly identified it and identified my home network. However, after the installation I was unable to connect to my network, and I found that it was caused by the fact that the line in /etc/rc.conf for DHCP was as follows:
ifconfig_wlan0="WPADHCP"
there should be a space between WPA and DHCP, and I fixed the problem by changing the line to this:
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The installer needs to put a space between WPA and DHCP in the following line in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_wlan0="WPADHCP"
