This works without problems as long
, you should be able to
boot a livefs FreeBSD CD and use dump to backup via ssh. There's an
example in the Handbook:

dump is not terribly fast. A comparison to partimage would be
interesting.

Then you need the entries in /etc/rc.conf
to create the wlan0 interface ...
wlans_ath0=wlan0
After /etc/rc.d/netif runs, that is equivalent to
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
Then use the wlan0 interface instead of ath0:
ifconfig wlan0 up scan
