I can a report of 7 APs available, required silinet_54 is amond them unfortunately status is "no carrier". The same configuration works perfectly on 6.2-RELEASE and also on all older releases.

I have seen the same behavior on a Prism 2.5 system I've got. The NDISulator driver works fine, though.
I can confirm this bug with a Prism3 chipset and FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. The relevant dmesg output is: wi0: <Intersil Prism3> mem 0xe4006000-0xe4006fff irq 18 at device 11.0 on pci0 wi0: [ITHREAD] wi0: using RF:PRISM3(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.5.6) wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:8a:a0:8a:96 "ifconfig wi0 up scan" will sometimes "complete" in a few seconds and sometimes take a few minutes but will never show any APs. An interesting aspect is that if I clear the ssid with "ifconfig wi0 ssid -" and take the interface up and down repeatedly sometimes the ssid of one AP will show up in ifconfig, but there will still be "no carrier" (unfortunately I don't know how reproduce this effect reliably).
I recently did some more experimenting and found an workaround that works for me ("ifconfig scan" still doesn' work): When I use an old ISC dhclient binary from FreeBSD 5 which ignores the "no carrier" status and sends the DHCP requests anyway, I get an IP address from the router and ifconfig shows "status: associated" afterwards. (and the network works just fine) Manually setting the IP address seems not work, however (but this might be also my router...).
