I found that if I 'ifconfig wlan0 destroy' followed by 'ifconfig
wlan0 create wlandev bwn0' it works.

/etc/rc.conf:
---
wlans_bwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
---

The corollery is that it doesn't work first time on reboot.  I need
to either '/etc/rc.d/netif restart' and if that panics the machine,
destroy wlan0 and then restart netif.

Then wlan0/bwn0 associates correctly with this device.
