Yes, this is FreeBSD Forums, but I wrote my helpful documentation over in GhostBSD forums, yet it is still very useful to FreeBSD users for manually setting up a wifi configuration to connect to the internet.
NetworkMgr does edit these same 3 files for you. I am showing how to do the same manually. After editing the files, issue command
dhclient wlan0
or use other dhcp command.

# 3 Files to edit/add configuration lines inside them
/boot/loader.conf
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Myself, as a new user to (FreeBSD / GhostBSD) I had problems getting online using
networkmgr
python program to configure WIFI, I read many forums posts, URLs, and wrote down step by step that a "
NEW USER, not GURU
" would go through, to manually get online using a WIFI chipset or usb dongle.
