It may not answer your specific question, but I found the following to be
a good starting point:

Re: why doesn't NetBSD ship with md5sum or sha1sum?

You're welcome! FWIW, I've hacked it a bit more so that the checksum file 
is now optional, and stdin is used when no file is given. Also, for input 
formats where the hash algorithm can be determined from, it's used 
according to that. 

For cksum(1) -o[12] and sum(1) those tools/options still need to be 
specified, just like when -n ("normal"?!) is used. I think those should be 
nuked from orbit / merged in consistently.

wireless access point scanning in netbsd

Hi,

I'm using 3.99.16 with ral driver kernel. How should I go about scanning for
access point ? 

I tried installing kismet but ./configure says it only supports pcap source.
Someone on irc pointed out wiconfig and wpa_supplicant so I tried "wiconfig ral0
-D", but it couldn't find any APs. I am still figuring out how wpa_supplicant
works. Any other pointers ? 

Could I also use tcpdump -y IEEE... to scan for access points ? 

Thank you
Henry

" <at> " erases line, "#" erases previous character, serial console

I *thought* I had a serial console working fine on i386, but at the
login prompt, " <at> " acts like ^u and "#" acts like Backspace.  Once
logged in, the keyboard acts normally -- it's only at the login
prompt and password input.

Ideas?  This one has me totally stumped.

My ral0 on 3.99.18 i386 box this worked.

ifconfig ral0 up
sleep 3
wiconfig ral0 -d
wlanctl ral0

Yeah, it takes much effort to get it to work currently.

That's been my experience with -current, it won't display, but it seems
to actually do the scan.

No.  I don't think it does radiotap anyway.

They are the historic defaults for the stty 'kill' and 'erase' characters.

Sorry, still not sure what to do.

Should I edit "/etc/gettytab" and change
        default:\
                :ce:ck:np:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:
to
        default:\
                :er='^?':kl='^u':ce:ck:np:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:

I don't recall ever having such a problem on sparc (IPC, Classic, SS5).  Is
there something inherently different between sparc and i386 in the way getty
works?  (IIRC, I have never used wscons with sparc, and am a bit new to it,
if that is the source of my problems.  See 2nd question below.)

After logging in, wscons takes over, so I no longer have a problem; is that
right?

In "/etc/tty" I have:

Thank you so much, the above wiconfig script worked. I also managed to scan 
using wpa_supplicant by running the following:

root:
# wpa_supplicant -d bsd -i ral0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

"porting" it was easy, I have no idea how I use it though.. They could have left 
a README with it or something!
