Here is primitive manual setup of wifi connection that I documented.

You originally created a "wlandev" when first setup your wifi connection. This is here as a detail configuration note example.
+
 
+
<code><nowiki>#</nowiki> ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtwn0</code>
+
Section 31.3.6.1
+
<code><nowiki>#</nowiki> ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 </code>
+
<code><nowiki>#</nowiki> ifconfig wlan0 list caps</code>
+
 
+
Or Adhoc  Mode section 31.3.5
+
 
+
<code><nowiki>#<nowiki> ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode adhoc </code>
+
<code><nowiki># </nowiki>ifconfig wlan0 up scan</code>
+
 
+
ifconfig wlan0 up scan
+
 
+
ifconfig wlan0 up scan > mylist_of_local_access_pts
+
 
+
Cat mylist_of_local_access_pts

You can look at the code for wpa_supplicant.
+
 
+
Here's the man page, https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicant&sektion=8
+
 
+
<nowiki>##</nowiki> Addendum
+
 
+
"sysctl -n net.wlan.devices"  will give you the device
+
 
+
"pciconf -lv" will give you the vendor and device in the output
+
 
+
The device driver and wpa_supplicant source code can provide details.

If you have already set up your wireless card then run this command
+
 
+
ifconfig wlan0 list scan
+
 
+
It will list all the wireless networks that the card can see along side some of the features offered.
+
 
+
You can then edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and enter the details of the wireless network you want to connect to.
+
 
+
Also, man ifconfig will give you all the things you can do with your wireless card.
