I booted the 8-CURRENT this morning, loaded the module with kldload(8) and
wlan0 came up by its own (I did not realized this yesterday). I have in
rc.conf:

wlans_ndis0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

wpa_supplicant(8) started after kldload, and associated the 
interface with my AP; had to do the DHCP by hand, don't know why?

For the moment all seems to be fine. Thanks for guiding me through this
to all.
