Configure ipw3945 wireless NIC under FreeBSD 8.0

Hi forum

I once installed a freeBSD 7.2 in a laptop with an Intel Pro wireless NIC ipw3945.

I am trying to Install freeBSD 8.0 in the same machine, but somehow, the syntax changed... I am not getting anywhere with this...

Can some one tell me what has changed, how is it done with fBSD 8.0 and ipw3945...?

/boot/loader.conf

Code:

if_ipw_load="YES"

/etc/rc.conf

Code:

wlans_ipw0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

by the way, I suppose that you make your own /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, and you want to setup a WPA encryption.
