Need network/WiFi detection & setup at boot #271

Open mszoek opened 2 years ago

Most of the network drivers are compiled in or are automatically loaded at boot. The missing pieces are configuration in /etc/rc.conf and info in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to join networks.

e.g. for rc.conf using an Intel WiFi driver:

wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP inet6 accept_rtadv"

We should be able to detect the network driver(s) by parsing pciconf -lv and create the relevant configs for each.

Hello @mszoek I would like to work on this issue under Hacktoberfest, but I am a beginner so I will be needing your mentorship.

I know C/C++ and I want contribute to this project in any possible way.

I do not know about the working of Operating Systems, In what manner should I understand the project code to get to the solution of this problem.
