Huzzah, I'm online!

The problem was that there is a password for the coffee shop wifi, but I couldn't discover that from ifconfig until I pulled it upon my phone and saw it was asking for a password.

So, dear #FreeBSD fam, how was I supposed to know? There was no mention of WPA or WPS in the CAPS flags:

rld@Intrepid:~$ ifconfig wlan0 list scan |grep -e ^SSID -e ^The.Book
SSID/MESH ID                      BSSID              CHAN RATE    S:N     INT CAPS
The Book Shoppe                   50:e4:e0:b7:b8:e2    6   54M  -53:-96   100 EPS  RSN BSSLOAD APCHANREP HTCAP WME

I've had a hard time finding/figuring out what all of those various CAPS flags mean. :P
