Please update this page : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html#NETWORK-WIRELESS-WPA-WPA-PSK

with info from this talk : http://forums.freebsd.org/archive/index.php/t-8747.html


Since 8.0.Release you need to create a complementary WLAN device before being able to use It: 

> Create a wlan device first:
> 
> ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
> ifconfig wlan0 list scan

and add to the rc.conf file: 

> wlans_ath0="wlan0"


If not update, this has a very high "time wasting" potential. 


Thank you very much.
