you need wlans_ath0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="wlanmode hostap inet 192.168.2.234 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid thinkpot nwkey topsecretpswd authmode shared mode 11g pureg hidessid" in /etc/rc.conf – not 100% sure about the latter, but in any case creating wlan0 and configuring it are separate steps. without the wlans_ath0 line the rc scripts don't even know they should look for *_wlan0 variables. Also, check out the docs about hostapd, I think it should (needs to?) be involved in creating an AP. Again, not sure. :matthiasr
