Is someone able to test that wireless works when using latest freebsd-utils (>= 8.2+ds1-1) from sid? I.e. that fixing #601803 was enough to get a working wireless setup. As described in the FreeBSD handbook [1], and assuming your kernel detected a wireless-capable device whose name is "ath0", the following commands would suffice: # ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 # ifconfig wlan0 up scan [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html -- Robert Millan
