Have followed steps in about 12 documents on how to setup FreeBSD as a wireless access point but my wlan0 device shows "status: no carrier" and the ath0 device shows "status:associated".
But wlan0 has the IP and ssid on it. I'm using 8.0 RC1. I tried adding a bridge for wlan0 and bge0 because bge0 goes to the net and is on 192.168.1 subnet but when I put cloned_interfaces in /etc/rc.conf and if_bridge_load in loader.conf the server doesn't boot. I compiled if_bridge into the kernel as well as wlan_xauth but I can't get it working.
Files and relevant parts for AP:
/etc/rc.conf
/boot/loader.conf
/etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
