You probably don't have bridging compiled in your kernel...

Those are shell commands, so you can just type them in a shell. For
automatic configuration on startup, you can put them in a
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/whatever.sh (see other files in the same dir for
examples), or put the ifconfig commands in the appropriate place in
/etc/rc.conf (add the ssid and mediaopt and the end of the ifconfig_wi0
line) and the sysctl stuff in sysctl.conf.
But again, this will make your PC act as a "pure AP" bridging between a
wired LAN and a WLAN, it won't enable you to bridge two wired LANs via a WLAN.
