As in, WPA-PSK? Can't be done in 5.4. One cannot install the wpa_supplicant port unless one has >= 6.0.


Pain in the proverbial, but I had to do it to get WPA on my FreeBSD box.

Not a bug. Just an unimplemented feature... and it won't be implemented in the 5.x branch because it involved changes in networking APIs - and all APIs are now frozen for the 5.x branch.
