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.
