On a fresh 8.1-RELEASE install
ifconfig wlan0 scan results in no output and takes forever (ie - it hangs)
ifconfig wlan0 ssid my_ssid
dhclient wlan0
results in no link being discovered
Here is some relevant system config and such to help diagnose the problem:
#ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev bwn0
#ifconfig bwn0
bwn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNIN,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
