The NetBSD Project has been working to adapt the FreeBSD Wi-Fi stack. When this is complete, things will be more up-to-date, newer protocols will be supported, and NetBSD will let one use multiple Virtual Access Points with the same physical Wi-Fi adapter. As of yet, most of the Wi-Fi drivers need to be converted to the new stack. The athn(4) driver will be reworked as necessary, and if time permits the ath(4) driver also.
