Hey Greg,

Yes.  FreeBSD does not run NetworkManager that is familiar on Linux operating systems. We utilize /etc/wpa_supllicant.conf and /etc/rc.conf for persistent network settings.

Has anyone been able to find a straightforward seamless method. I have not read over the handbook for network configuration.

Are you talking about NetworkManager?
