Description Lars Engels freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2007-10-09 20:10:01 UTC 
In rc.conf(5) it is suggested to use the WPA keyword for the ifconfig_ variable
if you want to use WPA authentication.
Actually the keyword tells network.subr to launch wpa_supplicant on the selected
interface. wpa_supplicant does not only handle WPA authentication but also
EAP/LEAP as well as WEP encryption or no encryption at all.
The attached patch clarifies this.
