       So, I installed NetBSD on an old Inspiron N4110 but I'm struggling to get it to connect to wifiThe adapter (Atheros AR9285; 168C:002B) seems to be detected well as athn0 but when I try to `wpa_cli scan` it shows no network, when there should be a couple aroundHow do I convince it to correctly scan and connect to the network I have? :cirnothinking: EDIT: Solved, thanks everyone!Seems like the usual trick of restarting the adapter works here...https://uwu.social/@koakuma/117225224903600840#NetBSD #AskFedi

       @lopta Yes, it should be all in 2.4 GHz, on the same machine Windows seem to detect those just fine

       @koakuma From what I can find, you'll need to make sure the wpa_supplicant is running, do a scan, then another command to show results. Then you have to edit the wpa_supplicant.conf "You can use wpa_cli(8) to scan for networks once WPA supplicant is running:# wpa_cli scan# wpa_cli scan_resultsSelected interface 'iwm0'16:01:33.578: bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssidxx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx       5180    91      [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS]    FRITZ!Box 1000 EZ"

       @AnachronistJohn OH YEAH seems like I need to power cycle it w/ `ifconfig athn0 down` then `ifconfig athn0 up` againThen redoing the connection per @latelesley's instruction works wellThank you!
