network app not connecting properly about iso HOT 8 OPEN

i am on the thinkpad x220 btw

I don't think the Network.app tries to automatically reconnect; this aspect is (should be?) handled by the underlying wpa_cli command line tool. Network.app just puts a GUI on top of that.

okay so the command line tool is pretty buggy then because i just opened my laptop and it connected right away. but most other times it wont connect for hours unless i keep hitting rescan.

The same thing happens when I reboot. It's a chore to get the wifi to connect.

If you suspect bugs in /usr/sbin/wpa_cli or even lower level stack elements, please do open a ticket with FreeBSD at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/.

Thanks!

oh dang. so this is a freeBSD issue?

from iso.

Well, /usr/sbin/wpa_cli is in FreeBSD, so if /usr/sbin/wpa_cli is not behaving correctly, then it must be fixed in FreeBSD.

Okay i am going to keep looking and debugging things so I can see if that's the main problem or it's hello.
