This example shows the Atheros ath0 wireless adapter.Add an entry for this network to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. If the file does not exist, create it. Replace myssidand mypsk with the SSID and PSK provided by the network administrator.
network={
ssid=”myssid” psk=”mypsk”
}
Add entries to /etc/rc.conf to configure the network on startup:
wlans_ath0=”wlan0″
ifconfig_wlan0=”WPA SYNCDHCP”
Restart the computer, or restart the network service to connect to the network:
# service netif restart
After 8.0v, it is necessary to create a wlan clone device of the actual wifi card :
# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
# ifconfig wlan0 up list scan
