Re: wlan setup
I have tried what the handbook says and a custom entry to devd.conf as one forum showed. wlan0 associates with the access point but does not get an IP. Drivers are loaded. No error messages in /var/log for wpa_supplicant. I have even tried using background_dhclient in rc.conf. This is an issue with freebsd not my access point. Windows, ubuntu and my cellphone have no problems obtaining an IP. I have no idea what is happening. It looks straight forward from the handbook. Unless this is a bug. I guess I'll have to ditch freebsd for awhile.

Not to belabor the obvious, but do you have a working DHCP server available to the WAP? Yes as I stated in the original post. It works fine with Windows and Ubuntu. Just doesn't work with FreeBSD. I even tried PCBSD with its gui networking tool. It links but does not get an IP. I haven't been to the machine again to check logs messages to see wpa_supplicant errors.

Re: wlan setup
Did you load the drivers about wlancard? Make kernel yourself or edited /boot/loader.conf to load drivers.
