It has been general advice working for every WLAN. The
one at Hamburg's university isn't very different. :-)

So you have the proof that WLAN _per se_ works. If it works
on Linux, it will work on FreeBSD as soon as you did the
neccessary steps.

That means DHCP.

Of course. But Linux instructions won't work on FreeBSD because
Linux isn't FreeBSD. I've pointed you to the relevant instructions
for FreeBSD, including the sources from where I took them (and
where you could have read them on your own).
Except putting your identification data for a non-public WLAN
into /etc/wps_supplicant.conf and configuring your WLAN interface
there is nothing else to do.

No, it's not common (and against the idea of openness, inter-
operability, and research in general) for a university to
implement a means that allows Linux, Mac OS X, iOS and
even "Windows" connect to a WLAN, but not FreeBSD.
If WLAN _does not_ work even if you set up everything correctly,
with FreeBSD you have the option to find out _why_. In worst
case, ask those who maintain the actual WLAN access point(s)
and network, they'll be happy to clarify if they intendedly
"block" FreeBSD or if you just failed to configure your WLAN
settings properly. :-)

I have no idea how an educated person could develop such
a strange idea, sorry.
And do you have instructions for setting up WLAN access
with Solaris? Maybe they'll "block" it, too... ;-)
Summary: Set up your wireless network as instructed, add your
individual access credentials, and _try it_ before you make a
wild ass guess. :-)
