omnios doesn't need no wpa_supplicant(8). In brief terms, all you have to "dladm create-secobj ..." to register your WPA pre-shared key, then you "dladm connect-wifi ..." to your (E)SSID, referring to the secobj. (dladm(8) has explicit examples.) After that, you proceed with ipadm(8) as usual to get/set ipv4/6 addresses.

Worked with my X220 iwn(4) out of the box.

So I'm afraid Omnios is not a server os anymore, I guess.

do you have X on your X220 with omnios? :)

Woodstock: nope.

guess that makes it a mere "lenovo 220" thinkpad, then :-)

i assume that whatever it's doing, it's either invoking supplicant automatically or it's doing what supplicant would do?

there's a wpad doing its stuff on behalf of dladm

aha

yes, and wpad is exactly the service contained in the search result mentioned above by uf4096, the std pkg:/service/network/wpa
