Solved New install FreeBSD 10

Hello to everyone!

I have a problem with the setup of FreeBSD: after a full install with /usr/src/ there was a problem with the internet. I have only wireless connections, and my adapter uses bwi which uses net/bwi-firmware-kmod. But when I try to make install clean a problem appears that ports-mgmt/pkg needs to be installed. Why does this happen, I am just trying to install a port?

Thank you.

pkg(8) is needed for installing any ports or packages.

Ok. But how about my case?
I have no internet, and to grab one, I should install firmware, but to install firmware I must have ports-mgmt/pkg for which installing I need internet. Am I missed something, that's what I asking.
 
There are not many options other than temporarily connecting the system by Ethernet to build and install the ports.
 
It should be possible to use a local package to bootstrap pkg(8). I'm not sure if this works on 10.0-RELEASE but it's worth a try:

/usr/sbin/pkg add /path/to/the/pkg-package.txz
