  Thank you, Eugene.

  I wrote /etc/start_if.ue0 on 12-current r333704 as follows

% cat /etc/start_if.ue0
#!/bin/sh

ifconfig ue0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx up  # set iwm0's mac address
ifconfig lagg0 -laggport wlan0 laggport ue0 laggport wlan0
/etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start wlan0

  Now, it works well.
  Thank you very much.
