Description Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-05-04 20:13:42 UTC 
If no wireless networks are found the installer prompts

No wireless networks were found.  Rescan?

          < Yes >     < No >

"No" returns to the network interface list; there is no way to enter WiFi details (for example, if connecting to a hidden SSID).
