I discover a "new" way to configure network interface, with wlan
I have tried to put in my rc.conf:
    wlans_ath0=wlan0
    ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

And .. it works, with a WPA2 configuration and also with only DHCP.
Conclusion 8-0-CURRENT-200809 work out of the box for the eeepc 701.

The only documentation I have found is
http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/BSDCan2005.pdf . Is there something
more substantial ?
