The pkg you mention has a later time stamp that what is currently installed, so hopefully the issue is fixed in oi_151_stable. No update is showing in the oi_151a repo. Here is my output of pkg info:

Wireless signals are not detected on a Sony Vaio laptop equipped with an Atheros (AR5001) wireless network adapter when booted in oi_151. oi_148 was initially installed in this computer and wireless signals are detected and obtains an IP address from the router when booted into oi_148.
