It will only show the cloned wlan0 device once it is created. To determine which wireless devices are available to clone to a wlan0 interface, use the following command: $ sysctl net.wlan.devices Once you have found the wireless device, set it up using the normal method: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html Good luck!
