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).
