WPA in 4.3 with ATH?

[Carlos Lugo]

When you say upgrade to 4.4, is there a pre-release version available?  That

As far as ipsec, unless i'm missing something i don't think it would be
relevant to my scenereo.  I essentially need to connect my bsd
firewall/gateway to my cable modem via a wireless access point.
