wifimgr ignoring rc.conf

I installed wifimgr in order to not have to mess with changing bssid's all the time in my rc.conf (on a laptop). However, when I run it I get the error that no device is configured in rc.conf.
Code:
No WiFi interface is configured in /etc/rc.conf
is the actual error.

But I can scan with the device using ifconfig wlan0 up scan no problem. Does wifimgr require wpa_supplicant to run even though I am connecting to unencrytped networks 99% of the time?

P.S. here is my rc.conf just to be safe.
Code:
hostname="Thinkpad"
ifconfig_bge0="DHCP"  #Ethernet
ntpd_enable="YES"
powerd_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"    #Wireless
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"
