98432520c2 o Rename the "Wireless" section to "Wireless Networking". 
o Rename the "Wireless background" section to "Wireless Modes of Operation".

o Mention specifically that we do not cover IBSS mode here.

o One tiny grammatical fix.

1d6df4c5aa Normalize indexterms. 
Several index terms were too long and this prevented the index from
being displayed in the normal two column style in print output.

403359dd43 Remove reference to net/gated port, as it is now commercial (and in 
fact, the company has sought out FreeBSD vendors in the past looking
for royalty money).

We still need to update the Handbook and many manpages to provide
recommendations for situations in which routed is inadequate.  All I
have done is fix the broken link.

cbbbe65b73 Greatly expand the information here. Unbreak the build (stray " crept 
in in my last commit).  Eliminate the use of wicontrol to setup hostap
mode.  Warn about using current firmware for hostap.  Describe IBSS
and BSS at least a little bit, as well as the various flavors of
ad-hoc mode.

# This is better, but additional work is still needed.

db8a3fbe87 Move the speed (-t 3) option into the ifconfig line. Remove the ssid 
from the wicontrol line, since it isn't needed.  Add channel number to
