I have a wireless router, but not a FreeBSD wireless router as such.

Wireless router has four Ethernet ports and a little antenna, is
connected by an Ethernet cable to a cable modem which is in turn 
connected to cable jack.

If this router is the access point, I guess I wouldn't use hostap on
ifconfig command line.  Use "wlanmode sta" in ifconfig?
