I used this script for FreeBSD and for Linux Ubuntu 6.06. Since I use 7.04 with the Network manager Applet I haven't been using this script anymore. Also because I don't have FreeBSD no more.

Here is a sample config  

#!/bin/bash
# wireless-enable.sh
LinuxWPA() {
  ifconfig eth1 up
  ifconfig eth0 down
  echo "execute wpa_supplicant, sleep 10"
  /sbin/wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -c /etc/conf/wireless/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw & >/dev/null  2>&1
  sleep 10
  echo "retrieve IP adress"
  /sbin/dhclient eth1 >/dev/null 2>&1
  ifconfig eth1
}

FreebsdWPA() {
  ifconfig bge0 down
  echo "load drivers"
  # /sbin/kldload -v if_iwi wlan_wep wlan_ccmp wlan_tkip
  /sbin/kldload -v if_iwi wlan_acl wlan_wep wlan_ccmp wlan_tkip
  echo "load firmware"
  /usr/sbin/iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss
  echo "execute wpa_supplicant, sleep 10"
  /sbin/wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -c /etc/conf/wireless/wpa_supplicant.conf & >/dev/null  2>&1
  sleep 10
  echo "retrieve IP adress"
  /sbin/dhclient iwi0 >/dev/null 2>&1
  ifconfig iwi0
}

MACHINE=`uname`
if [ "$MACHINE" = "Linux" ]; then
  LinuxWPA
else
  if [ "$MACHINE" = "FreeBSD" ]; then
    FreebsdWPA
