FreeBSD has supported BSS mode pretty much since it has supported the WaveLAN cards. The default mode was changed from Ad-hoc mode to BSS at about 4.3 and remains the default mode in 4.5. What FreeBSD does not support is a FreeBSD system acting as a BSS Access Point. It can only set up a BSS connection to an access point. R.
