I don't believe that any usb 802.11 devices are supported. For all the
ifconfig options for 802.11 to work, ideally it would have to present the
same features as a wi device. man -k usb didn't yield anything, but I often
find it useful just to grep from the files in
/sys/dev/{isa,pci,usb,etc...}/ , or in this case just do

bash-2.05b#  ls -l /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/*wi*
ls: /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/*wi*: No such file or directory

to see if something may be supported. There is probably a geocrawler archive
of the usb-bsd@eleetbsd.org mailling list that may have additional
information. If Lennart Augusston reads this list, he can answer this
question.
