Same problem, no change. Scan_results in wpa_cli reveals 2 AP.

The script used to activate wpi is this

kldload if_wpi
ifconfig wpi0 192.168.8.5/24 up
route add default 192.168.8.254
wpa_supplicant -B -i wpi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

#cat wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
	ssid="Naboo"
	psk="***********"
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
