By far, your best bet is to give up now and do an OS upgrade.  Updating
drivers independently is a completly unsupported operation for experts
only.  The above error means you need to updated your if_media support.
To do that you need to find the commit logs for the upgrades to add
IEEE 802.11 support to if_media and update all the files in question.
There are probalby other things you'd have to update too.

You'd want RELENG_4 so you get one from the same branch of the source
tree as you are using.
