Section 32.3 Wireless Networking.
32.3.3.1.3.1 WPA-PSKThe first step is the configuration of the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file with the SSID and the pre-shared key
of your network:

network={
  ssid="freebsdap"
  psk="freebsdmall"
}
------------------------------------------


I use WPA2 with AES on my access point. In order to get my laptop to connect to the access point I needed to add options for the key management to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

network={
ssid="freebsdap"
psk="freebsdmall"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
}
