I've been through the FAQ section and the FreeBSD Handbook section on Wireless Networking and, from what I can tell, my WiFi should be working but it's not. Here's the output from sudo ifconfig | grep -B 3 802.11:
Code: Select all

I know the WiFi adapter works, because I'm using it right now to submit this message in Linux Mint, which I have installed in a dual boot with GhostBSD.
So, does anybody have any idea as to what could be wrong or what I could be doing wrong? Without WiFi, I don't have Internet access on this computer without running a long length of Cat5E from my computer, through the wall, up across the attic, down through another wall, to the cable modem, which I'm not really keen to do at this point in time.
