This is what /etc/rc.conf sais: # Don't use this for wireless interfaces, see network profiles below # eth0="dhcp" INTERFACES=(eth0) .. and this is /etc/conf.d/wireless: # Settings for wireless cards # # For each wireless interface declared in INTERFACES (in rc.conf), declare # a wlan_${IF} variable that contains the arguments to be passed to # iwconfig(8). So, bottom line, can i add wlan0 to /etc/rc.conf's INTERFACE?
