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.

G.B.

I've submitted a patch to mention the WLAN device, which was picked up by
a doc committer as he has the networking chapter on his TODO list.
