## Optimizing OpenBSD
### Improving Battery Performance / Enabling Sleep
Properly setup apmd:
```
rcctl enable apmd
rcctl set apmd flags -A
rcctl start apmd
```
### Setup WiFi
> The following assumes you have installed/setup the proper firmware updates for your hardware.
Create a new file `hostname.iwn0` (change the extensions to what is reported
via `ifconfig`)
```
join WIFI-NAME wpakey PASSPHRASE
dhcp
inet6 autoconf
up powersave
```
Then run the following:
```
ifconfig iwn0 up
```
You might also need to run `doas sh /etc/netstart` after.
