I see in the man page for ath, and assume much would apply to other wireless

Create an 802.11g host-based access point:
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode hostap
ifconfig wlan0 inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_ap \
mode 11g
but would the access point, with wired connection, have or use the wireless
adapter?
"hostap" is to make a FreeBSD system with a wireless card into a
wireless router.
Access point, if I understand correctly, would have a wired
connection, such as cable or DSL, and the other computer, with the
wireless adapter, would have the Atheros or other wireless adapter.
No, a router generally has at least two network interfaces. A FreeBSD
wireless router would have both wired and wireless interfaces.
