Make Wifibox more intuitive to install

pgj commented 2 years ago

Recently Wifibox received some criticism about the shipped sample configuration files and documentation:

https://jrgsystems.com/posts/2022-04-20-802.11ac-on-freebsd-with-wifibox/ "I was a bit confused at first when configuring wifibox after installing the pkg. The man page (man wifibox) specifies modifying the *.conf.sample files in the /usr/local/etc/wifibox/ directory to configure it but does not specify which settings are necessary for software to start."
https://twitter.com/hashtag/wifibox _"Well💩 For whatever reason default route was not added (#wifibox); needed to add one self. Before that, also had started wpa_supplicant in the VM, which did not complain about an instance already running. So starting|configuration of #wifibox is still damn fiddly😫"_

Find ways to make it easier to use.

Created 17d81a57a99844fae1394290dd1b074f689f1ccc to improve the comments in the sample configuration files. In addition to this, added a pkg-message for the net/wifibox port in https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox-port/commit/35773e14f2b761aeb71858bb8cdf3b44d8d029dc .
