Hopefully causeless.

You need to create pseudo devices (that can be used to use a single wlan device in different modes at the same time). E.g. if you've got a wpi device, add wlans_wpi0="wlan0" to your rc.conf. You can use wlan0 just like you used to use wpi0 in the past. Regards -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
