Maybe useful to some…

1. 'git log' output does not show colorized output
   • can see the escape sequence
   • so, as user, type

     git config --global core.pager "ls -r"

Note DHCP client is dhclient - simply run dhclient <interface> when booting to console and using something like USB tethering.

Configure (wireless) network interface (in case was not done during installation)

• FreeBSD has network interface name - based on the driver name (e.g. sis, re)
  • to find this, use pciconf -lv
• for normal wired connection (e.g. re0), add to 'rc.conf'

  ifconfig_re0="DHCP"

• for a wireless connection (e.g. ath0), add in

  wlan_ath0="wlan0"
  ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"

• for a secured wireless connection (e.g. WPA protected), add in

  wlan_ath0="wlan0"
    ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"

  also, append '/ etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'

    network={
        ssid="the_ssid"
        psk="the_psk"
    }

• not sure why but wlan0 was not auto-created?
  • from official handbook, do ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
  • to start up and scan, do ifconfig wlan0 up scan
  • or just scan, do ifconfig wlan0 list scan
