you need

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="wlanmode hostap inet 192.168.2.234 netmask
255.255.255.0 ssid thinkpot nwkey topsecretpswd authmode shared mode
11g pureg hidessid"

in /etc/rc.conf â?? not 100% sure about the latter, but in any case
creating wlan0 and configuring it are separate steps. without the
wlans_ath0 line the rc scripts don't even know they should look for
*_wlan0 variables.

Also, check out the docs about hostapd, I think it should (needs to?)
be involved in creating an AP. Again, not sure.
