Description Doug Barton freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2011-03-24 05:10:00 UTC 
	If I create a wlan0 device as follows:

	ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev foo0 wlanaddr 00:... 

	the wlan0 device gets created properly with the specified mac,
	however the device never associates. The same commands without
	'wlanaddr 00:...' works just fine on the same hardware.

How-To-Repeat: 	See above

Checked with rtwn(4):
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtwn0 wlanaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55

Everything works fine (I'm using it right now).
