Clamshell iBook G3 (300 MHz), Apple Airport wifi card
>Description:
It's impossible to connect my Clamshell iBook, on which I have freshly
installed FreeBSD 10.0-Release, with my wireless network at home.  I can't establish a connection with ifconfig and dhclient.  The wifi card is the original Apple Airport (not the Extreme edition).  For testing purposes, I have disabled encryption (WPA).
>How-To-Repeat:
In /boot/loader.conf:

if_wi_load="YES"

On the command line:

# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wi0 up
wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:10:...
# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
    ether 00:10:...
    inet6 fe80::210:c6ff:fe6a:78ff%wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
    nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
    media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11b
    status: associated
    ssid "" channel 0 (0 MHz) bssid 00:10:...
    country US authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 0 bmiss 7 ucastrate 0
    mcastrate 0 mgmtrate 0 maxretry 0 scanvalid 60 bintval 0
# ifconfig wlan0 scan
#
(Scan doesn't work; there are several networks in reach.  But maybe the card doesn't support scanning.)

# ifconfig wlan0 ssid MYSSID
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
    ether 00:10:...
    inet6 fe80::210:c6ff:fe6a:78ff%wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
    nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
    media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
    status: no carrier
    ssid MYSSID channel 3 (2422 MHz 11b)
    country US authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 0 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60
    bintval 0

# dhclient wlan0
wlan0: no link ............... giving up

I have transfered everything by hand, so I can't rule out typos, and I
have shortened the MAC address (00:10:...).
>Fix:
I have installed NetBSD 6.1.3 and there it was possible to establish a connection (but only if WPA encryption is disabled).  So maybe code from their wi module can be used.
