Manually running /etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0 or /etc/rc.d/netif start ath0 does the right thing. I am running yesterday's kernel. rc.conf contains ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if this area still needs work. As I understand it, wpa_supplicant should die when an interface goes down just like dhclient should. Another curious behavior is that after a manual ifconfig ath0 down the interface does not stay down. On the whole I am very impressed with just how easy it has been to install current and get wireless stuff working on this laptop (now if only I can get the middle mouse button working and deal with other minor annoyances...)
