/usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -dd -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dbsd

I was just about to say that I couldn't find the program, but reason was, it should have been - /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant

Yes that is what you need. The license ack. I believe the firmware is now built in and the manpage is outdated.
Not sure though as I use Atheros wireless.

Sir, do you mind telling me which card you use that works well?

There is nice ncurses tool you can use for that:
bsdconfig wireless

This is assuming you are trying to setup a wireless client.

And if you like using a GUI, wifimgr is GREAT.

Maybe you could start a new Thread, and ask there. Not to discourage you, just it would be better organized and more helpful to people who are searching the Forums here.

Here are my recommendations:
Atheros AR9280, AR9380(AR5BXB112 and AR5BHB112) and my WAP uses a AR9580 Mikrotek module.

Using these in some Dell laptops with only a half length slot.

Here is a Atheros desktop variant if that is what you need:
HP WPEA-113N (Found on ebay commonly)
