 It enables the net80211 structures. It isn't clear to me why it is not
 currently more used in our compatibility framework.

 To cite the FreeBSD man page: "the an(4) driver uses unmodified packet
 mode instead of letting the NIC perform 802.11/ethernet encapsulation
 itself.". This probably explains why the driver only uses an ethernet
 interface (IF_ETHER).
