As I said in a previous post, the dstumbler portion of the bsd-airtools 
works for me by doing the following:

# ifconfig wi0 up
# dstumbler wi0

Also, kismet is a really good tool for detecting wireless networks as 
well.  It is available in the FreeBSD ports tree at 
/usr/ports/net-mgmt/kismet.  However, I can only get this app to work 
with my Atheros (ath0) card, a Linksys WPC55AG.
