The handbook suggests that these settings can be used for WPA in FreeBSD:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
But as far as I'm concerned this very settings can be used for WEP.
So what does "WPA" here stand for?
Judging by the code inside /etc/network.subr
, "WPA" is a pseudo argument which triggers invocation of wpa_supplicant
.
WPA indicate that the wireless device wlan0 use WPA security protocols.
For WEP:
wepmode on
