I've managed to reproduce this on my wifi enabled laptop with r228986 
MFCed to a 9-stable kernel. I can't reproduce the panic with regular 
interfaces, pseudo interfaces (e.g. lo0 and pflog0) or vlans (which also 
have a relationship with an underlying physical interface) i.e. this is 
VAP/net80211 specific as far as I can tell.

The problem is that bpfattach2() is being called twice with the same 
interface name i.e. "wlan0".

I added a debug printf and call to kdb_backtrace() after the 
SYSCTL_ADD_PROC() call in bpfattach2() to see the code paths which are 
calling into the function. Here's what I see when the kernel runs on my 
laptop (I've added inline comments between "## ##"):

Added tscfg OID for interface wlan0

## Here it has successfully added the net.bpf.tscfg.wlan0 sysctl entry

can't re-use a leaf (wlan0)!

## Here SYSCTL_ADD_PROC() failed because leaf name is already used ##

So after a bit of digging, ieee80211_vap_setup() calls 
ieee80211_radiotap_vattach(), which explicitly calls bpfattach2(), and 
then a subsequent call to ieee80211_vap_attach() indirectly calls into 
bpfattach2() via the call to ether_ifattach().

This smells like a net80211 bug to me. I'm guessing, but I would suspect 
ieee80211_vap_setup() shouldn't call ieee80211_radiotap_vattach() and 
should let ieee80211_vap_attach() handle the BPF attachment via the call 
to ether_ifattach().

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Lawrence
