Preparing the Disk (MBR UFS)

gpart destroy -F ada0
gpart create -s mbr ada0
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs ada0s1
newfs -U -j -L root /dev/ada0s1

Wireless

kldload if_iwm
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwm0

Create /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
  ssid="SSID"
  psk="password"
}

Fire up wifi daemon (in a new vty):

wpa_supplicant -Dbsd -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhclient wlan0

Automating Wireless

Edit /boot/loader.conf to get us the proper modules loaded at boot:

iwm7260fw_load="YES"
if_iwm_load="YES"

XXX: is there a way to automate the wpa_supplicant steps? Perhaps in an openrc service run at startup?
