Next time I booted stable/8, I checked /var/log/messages, and verified that wpa_supplicant is also persistent in that environment. So I did the above within script(1); I've attached a copy of the typescript file. This was done while running: FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #20 r214672: Tue Nov 2 04:19:13 PDT 2010 Peace, david -- David H.
