            Bug ID: 279221
           Summary: Handbook Section 7.4. Wireless Networks lacks info on
                    identifying non-iwn driver WiFi
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Books & Articles
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: drew@freebsdfoundation.org

Handbook Section 7.4.1 suggests running the following:

# sysrc wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
# sysrc ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

But may not identify options if users don't have iwn driver-based WiFi
chipsets.

Suggest adding the following to identify available devices:

$ sysctl net.wlan.devices
