On another thread Peeter gave a solution that also worked with my setup (iwm0):
# /etc/rc.conf
wlans_iwm0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA"
# Or /etc/rc.conf with DHCP
dhcpd_enable=YES
wlans_iwm0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
# /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="my-ssid"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
