Welcome to the FreeBSD Forums. Do you still have a problem with Wi-Fi?

Your /etc/resolv.conf appears wrong. If you edited this file: please do not.

From the rc.conf for a nearby MacBookPro8,2:

ifconfig_bge0="DHCP"
wlans_rum0="wlan1"
create_args_wlan1="country GB regdomain ETSI"
ifconfig_wlan1="WPA DHCP"
