I am putting up 7.2 and I am attempting to use a wireless router.
How do I tell the 7.2  configurator to use my router, wirelessly?

I am using an Atheros chip-set, so I am not expecting trouble.  I just need
FBSD to see my system.  I know my wireless 'name'.  What do I do??

If you're using WPA, create your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
  ssid="myssid"
  psk="mykey"
}

Then you need the entries in /etc/rc.conf to create the wlan0 interface and set it up for WPA and DHCP:

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

If you're not using WPA, well, why not?
