I switched my Thinkpad T61p from FreeBSD 8.1 RC2 i386 to amd64 and
experienced a failure of the wireless networking. The setup is as follows:
/etc/rc.conf

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"
On boot the "wlan0" interface was NOT created. If I manually ran
"ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0", then everything was OK.
The exact same setup (rc.conf, loader.conf, wpa_suplicant.conf) works
fine under FreeBSD 8.1 RC2 i386
Hmm, the rc scripts are identical between i386 and amd64, and many people are
able to use wlan's with amd64. Can you provide more details and ensure you
don't have any typos?
