As you asked following the output  for kldstat -v |
egrep 'wpi|wlan'

freebsd-box# kldstat -v | egrep 'wpi|wlan'
 5    5 0xc07c7000 1edf8    wlan.ko
                 4 wlan
 7    1 0xc07e8000 26414    wpifw.ko
                 5 wpifw_fw
 8    1 0xc080f000 1b10     wlan_xauth.ko
                 6 wlan_xauth
 9    1 0xc0811000 2d08     wlan_wep.ko
                 7 wlan_wep
10    1 0xc0814000 6d04     wlan_ccmp.ko
                 8 wlan_ccmp
11    1 0xc081b000 4000     wlan_tkip.ko
                 9 wlan_tkip

I try to use kldload, and the result make me believe
that I'm missing the wpi driver or part  of it. 

freebsd-box# kldload if_wpi
kldload: can't load if_wpi: No such file or directory

freebsd-box# kldload wlan_scan_sta
kldload: can't load wlan_scan_sta: No such file or
directory

I'm thinking to reinstall freebsd maybe I did
something wrong from the beginning.

greetings
