Kldstat only lists those modules that have been loaded separately. If you run 'kldstat -v' then all the modules, both those in the kernel, and those loaded as modules, should be listed.

I started by reading this Handbook section:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html
One thing that you may want to note, if you are not *ALWAYS* around a
known wireless network, is that making changes to /etc/rc.conf may cause
the startup process to print harmless, but annoying nevertheless,
warnings when ath0 is down. This is especially true if your wireless
NIC is not on-board, but a PC-CARD that you sometimes use (like mine).
In this case, you can 'override' the /etc/rc.conf settings by making a
small shell script like this (almost identical to the one I use to bring
up ath0 on my laptop):
1 | export ifconfig_ath0="inet DHCP ssid 'XX' \
2 | wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey '1:0xXX'"
3 |
4 | /etc/rc.d/netif stop # Stop all other interfaces.
5 | /etc/rc.d/netif start ath0# Bring up ath0.
6 | if test $? -eq 0 ; then
7 | echo >&2 "ath0: ERROR: Could not bring up interface."
8 | exit 1
9 | fi
10 |
11 | echo -n "Waiting for ath0 to associate "
12 | _timeout=0
13 | _associated=NO
14 | while [ "$_timeout" -lt 30 ]; do
15 | status=$( ifconfig ath0 2>&1 | grep status: |\
16 | awk '{print $2}' )
17 | if [ X"${status}" = X"associated" ]; then
18 | _associated=YES
19 | break
20 | fi
21 | echo -n '.'
22 | sleep 1
23 | _timeout=$(( $_timeout + 1 ))
24 | done
25 | if [ X"${_associated}" = X"YES" ]; then
26 | echo " ok"
27 | else
28 | echo ''
29 | echo >&2 "ath0: ERROR: Timed out while waiting to associate."
30 | /etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0
31 | exit 1
32 | fi
By setting ifconfig_ath0 in the script itself (see lines 1-2), you don't
have to modify `/etc/rc.conf'. The /etc/rc.d/netif script will be happy
by simply finding the appropriate stuff in its running environment :-)
I hope this helps,
- Giorgos
