Handbook: Section 31
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html#NETWORK-WIRELESS
HTML Manpage for wpa_supplicant.conf:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicant.conf&sektion=5
proto List of acceptable protocols; one or more of: WPA (IEEE
802.11i/D3.0) and RSN (IEEE 802.11i). WPA2 is another name for
RSN. If not set this defaults to "WPA RSN".
I have 7.0-RELEASE working perfectly with WPA2/CCMP (using AES), so I
can't imagine that 8 would break it that badly, but I could be wrong..
Here's my (very simple) wpa_supplicant.conf (psk edited, of course):
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# Home:
network={
ssid="<none>"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="x}&]{-9jimCm`6V:>LI#HiLa[Q5\jL/b;R:2)/%HU#zW=:&?K?PP8mx48`Jvx-K"
}
