            Bug ID: 290236
           Summary: bsdinstall: 5s is not always enough time to scan for
                    wireless networks
           Product: Base System
           Version: 16.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste@freebsd.org

When testing the installer I've often encountered the "No wireless networks
were found. Rescan?" message. The expected networks did appear after answering
yes.

In the absence of a more comprehensive Wi-Fi setup tool in the installer we
ought to wait a little longer. Just increasing to 10s would be trivial, but
just doing (one) automatic rescan w/o asking should be straightforward.
