Dear freebsd users,

I have an acer aspire 1 running freebsd and I was able to connect with
wireless when I ran freebsd 9 on it.  Now running freebsd 11 and I get
no carrier problems.

I used to connect by following wblock's advice given in :

http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/wireless.html

I have followed steps carefully and have added to /etc/rc.conf

root@aceraspire:~ # cat /etc/rc.conf | grep 'wlan0'
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
root@aceraspire:~ # cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
        ssid="GrullaHS"
        psk="password_goes_here"
}

root@aceraspire:~ #
root@aceraspire:~ # ifconfig wlan0 list scan

How can I troubleshoot so I can get the wireless on this machine going?

It used to connect without problems.  Now I am using wired connection.
Please advice me.  I tried to add networkmgr by using pkg, but it is
not available

root@aceraspire:~ # pkg install networkmgr
