I botched the first edit of this PR, and the comments went only to me,
rather than me *and* the list, so here's the latest comment from the
trail of the PR

This used to be true, but it was fixed in svn rev 35578
by blackend, when he committed this change, among other
wlan improvements:

% -          <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ifconfig <replaceable>ath0</replaceable> up scan</userinput>
% +          <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ifconfig <replaceable>wlan0</replaceable> create wlandev <replaceable>ath0</replaceable></userin
% +&prompt.root; <userinput>ifconfig <replaceable>wlan0</replaceable> up scan</userinput>
