Wicd

[Olivier Duchateau]

Hi,

It's not trivial, you need to understand src/sys/net80211/ directory
and certainly src/include/netconfig.h
Then, have good knowledge in Python, especially socket, fnctl, and
struct modules (and also understand ioctl).
See if their wrappers (wpactrl, and iwscan) work under FreeBSD, and
finally patch the setup.py file, because FreeBSD is not Linux.

So if you are time, you can.
