With SATA controller mode set to Compatibility then it works, but a
little wonky at startup - sometimes I'll have to run wpa_supplicant -i
wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. Infrequently a buffer error appears.
With SATA controller mode set to AHCI then I can ifconfig wlan0 list
scan and see available networks but I can't connect to any except for
unprotected networks.

I'm currently running FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE
