Add a breif example for the wlan change. Include an explicit pointer
to rc.conf(5) to remind people where to look for all the details.
People without network connectivity forget basics like this... This
is in keeping with historic UPDATING entries which try to provide
basic information in the entry, and a pointer to more extensive
information documenting the new thing.

The underlying device is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files. + For example, change: + ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" + to + wlans_ath0=wlan0 + ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" + see rc.conf(5) for more details. As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta modules were merged into the base wlan module. All references |
