You must've last checked a long time ago:
DESCRIPTION
The wicontrol command controls the operation of WaveLAN/IEEE wireless
networking devices via the wi(4) driver. Most of the parameters that can
be changed relate to the IEEE 802.11 protocol which the WaveLAN imple-
ments. This includes the station name, whether the station is operating
in ad-hoc (point to point) or BSS (service set) mode, and the network
name of a service set to join (IBSS) if BSS mode is enabled. The wicon-
trol command can also be used to view the current settings of these pa-
rameters and to dump out the values of the card's statistics counters.
