Description Drew Gurkowski 2024-05-22 14:52:39 UTC 
Handbook Section 7.4.1 suggests running the following:

# sysrc wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
# sysrc ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

But may not identify options if users don't have iwn driver-based WiFi chipsets.

Suggest adding the following to identify available devices:

$ sysctl net.wlan.devices
