That is the wired network, it is not connected. That's why
the interface is down. I wrote this in the previous message.

On FreeBSD, "more" is "less" - "less /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
is the preferred command. ;-)

That looks wrong in many ways.

The configuration file can be kept quite simple. For the
plenty of options, see "man 5 wpa_supplicant.conf".

For the details, just "translate" the required settings
from the Linux set-up guide you got, and if you have
additional questions, ask the maintainers of the network
you're trying to connect to - they'll be able to tell
you about specific details.

please re-read what I wrote on _what_ to put into _which_
file. Or at least read what I repeat:

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf only needs this for starters:

 	network={
 		ssid="<SSID>"
 		psk="<key>"
 	}

/etc/rc.conf needs the following additions:

	wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
	ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"

Then, "reboot" or "service netif restart", whatever you
prefer.

Correct.

The 2nd setting overrides the first one and looks obviously
wrong.

That one is missing.

You don't even use the wired network, so why configure IPv6
for it?

No idea where this comes from.

That's okay.



BUT:

Why didn't you follow this part of the suggested instruction?

You didn't set up your networking as required, and you didn't
do any of the diagnostic steps. I don't understand how it's
still possible to assume that the result will work... ;-)



Again, simply follow the examples here:

Also, in case it applies: "HOWTO: Wireless WPA2-Enterprise Connection"
