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.

operation on devices that are capable. 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
