Assuming that you loose link or disassociate between AP's your DHCP client should see this and try to renew it's lease. Should be the same as unplugging the cable and plugging it back in on a wired NIC. I'm not sure how dhclient does this in FBSD but I know in windows this should work. However unless you are using a tunnel or some VPN software any telnet or streamed sessions will time out.
