9.1 to 9.2: hostapd changes?

Hello,

I've read in release notes that hostapd config changes between FreeBSD 9.1 and FreeBSD 9.2. Unfortunately I can't find more details about this change; than that:

Implement new rc.conf(5) syntax for hostapd(8). The new format is: ifconfig_wlanX="HOSTAP", where X represents the wlan(4) interface. [r252748]

and:

Not only this is a bit cleaner, it allows multiple instances of hostapd to be
running on the system host, useful for simultaneous dual-band WiFi.
This is similar to ifconfig_wlanX="WPA" but it uses /etc/hostapd-wlanX.conf.
Compatibility with hostapd_enable=YES/NO was kept.

Currently, I've this:

Code:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap" 
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid MySSID mode 11g pureg up"

How am I supposed to convert my configuration while upgrading from 9.1-RELEASE to 9.2-RELEASE?
 
Well, well, well.
The old syntax still works. Haven't changed anything in my rc.conf and my access point works great after upgrading to 9.2-RELEASE.
