remove the CONFIGURATION section from the wireless pages:
the addition of the wpa options have shown just how unwieldy it had become, it's already in ifconfig(8) anyway, and "ifconfig -m" will get the relevant ones. ok dlg jsg

it is strongly recommended that it not be used as the
sole mechanism to secure wireless communication.
WEP is not enabled by default.
-.Sh CONFIGURATION
+.Pp
The
.Nm
driver can be configured at runtime with
.Xr ifconfig 8
or on boot with
-.Xr hostname.if 5
-using the following parameters:
-.Bl -tag -width Ds
-.It Cm bssid Ar bssid
-Set the desired BSSID.
-.It Fl bssid
-Unset the desired BSSID.
-The interface will automatically select a BSSID in this mode, which is
-the default.
-.It Cm chan Ar n
-Set the channel (radio frequency) to be used by the driver based on
-the given channel ID
-.Ar n .
-.It Fl chan
-Unset the desired channel to be used by the driver.
-The driver will automatically select a channel in this mode, which is
-the default.
-.It Cm media Ar media
-The
-.Nm
-driver supports the following
-.Ar media
-types:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width autoselect -compact
-.It Cm autoselect
-Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
-.It Cm DS1
-Set 802.11b DS 1Mbps operation.
-.It Cm DS2
-Set 802.11b DS 2Mbps operation.
-.It Cm DS5
-Set 802.11b DS 5.5Mbps operation.
-.It Cm DS11
-Set 802.11b DS 11Mbps operation.
-.El
-.It Cm mediaopt Ar opts
-The
-.Nm
-driver supports the following media options:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width monitor -compact
-.It Cm hostap
-Select Host AP operation.
-.It Cm ibss
-Select IBSS operation.
-.It Cm monitor
-Select monitor mode.
-.El
-.It Fl mediaopt Ar opts
-Disable the specified media options on the driver and return it to the
-default mode of operation (BSS).
-.It Cm nwflag Ar flag
-Set a specified flag for the wireless network interface.
-The flag name can be either
-.Ql hidenwid
-or
-.Ql nobridge .
-The
-.Ql hidenwid
-flag will hide the network ID (ESSID) in beacon frames when operating
-in Host AP mode.
-It will also prevent responses to probe requests with an unspecified
-network ID.
-The
-.Ql nobridge
-flag will disable the direct bridging of frames between associated
-nodes when operating in Host AP mode.
-Setting this flag will block and filter direct inter-station
-communications.
-.Pp
-Note that the
-.Ql hidenwid
-and
-.Ql nobridge
-options do not provide any security.
-The hidden network ID will be sent in clear text by associating
-stations and can be easily discovered with tools like
-.Xr tcpdump 8
-and
-.Xr hostapd 8 .
-.It Fl nwflag Ar flag
-Remove a specified flag for the wireless network interface.
-.It Cm nwid Ar id
-Set the network ID.
-The
-.Ar id
-can either be any text string up to 32 characters in length,
-or a series of hexadecimal digits up to 64 digits.
-An empty
-.Ar id
-string allows the interface to connect to any available access points.
-By default the
-.Nm
-driver uses an empty string.
-Note that network ID is synonymous with Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).
-.It Fl nwid
-Set the network ID to the empty string to allow the interface to connect
-to any available access point.
-.It Cm nwkey Ar key
-Enable WEP encryption using the specified
-.Ar key .
-The
-.Ar key
-can either be a string, a series of hexadecimal digits (preceded by
-.Sq 0x ) ,
-or a set of keys of the form
-.Dq n:k1,k2,k3,k4 ,
-where
-.Sq n
-specifies which of the keys will be used for transmitted packets,
-and the four keys,
-.Dq k1
-through
-.Dq k4 ,
-are configured as WEP keys.
-If a set of keys is specified, a comma
-.Pq Sq \&,
-within the key must be escaped with a backslash.
-Note that if multiple keys are used, their order must be the same within
-the network.
-.Nm
-is capable of using both 40-bit (5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits)
-or 104-bit (13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits) keys.
-.It Fl nwkey
-Disable WEP encryption.
-This is the default mode of operation.
-.It Cm nwkey persist
-Enable WEP encryption with the persistent key stored in the network card.
