I just committed a major update to the 802.11 support. I did my best to verify all existing users compile and work (where I have cards) but there's sure to be some fallout. In particular I expect that wi cards operating in hostap with wep will need some fixup. If you encounter problems please post here as I've been promised other folks will assist in handling issues. There are many new features added. The most important probably is that there is now full support for WPA, 802.11i, and 802.1x though the wpa_supplicant and hostap programs. I've got simple ports for these packages http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/security-wpa_supplicant.tgz http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/security-hostapd.tgz If someone wants to step up and see them committed it would be appreciated. More work will be filtering in to the tree. I've got a revised ifconfig that hooks up to all the new 802.11 functionality and a dhclient that understands events generated by the 802.11 layer so, for example, roaming between AP's results in fast IP address changes.
