I pointed him at the madwifi project on sourceforge. It's a Linux port of the
net80211 layer that now includes an 802.1x authenticator and soon will have
WPA support too. Backporting to FreeBSD should be straightforward. For
user-level notification I have some simple additions to kqueue to define new
events equivalent to the Linux wireless extensions events (scan done, station
associate, station deauth, station join, station leave).
