  $ vim /etc/network/interfaces

  auto wlan0
  iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid <myssid>
        wpa-psk <passphrase hash>
You can also have multiple virtual interfaces configured in the same file as above, and then just do "ifup wlan0=virtualif" to switch.

Much ado about nothing.



Absolutely. It's also more secure this way, since you aren't putting the passphrase in a readable-by-any-user command line argument.


FYI, it's trivial to hide processes from other users on BSD with a sysctl variable.


I think that's just in FreeBSD, not in others like OpenBSD.

Linux has copied that feature a few years ago, called it "hidepid".
