Since if_ath supports ``AR5210, AR5211, and AR5212'' parts, I would
expect that 5210 does not equal 5212 and that therefore the WPA not
supported bug does not apply to your device.

There is more to setting up wpa than just the ifconfig line. It quickly
becomes quite the TLA soup, but whatever else; you need a supplicant
running. FreeBSD 6 comes with one in the base system. I don't have a
working setup here or I could show you the /etc/rc.conf lines needed.
You could instead venture to read the handbook, specifically section
27.3.3.1.3 and following subsections.

Thanks for prompt reply and advices.

In fact, I was missing device wlan_xauth in my kernel conf.

I'm going to read the right handbook section.
