Synopsis: [iwn] Network keeps disconnecting when /etc/rc.d/netif restart is run

State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended

State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 3 19:59:38 UTC 2011
State-Changed-Why: 
This is known issue. There is race in devd and our rc-subsystem if wpa_supplicant is involved effectivly resulting in starting wpa_supplicant twice. Both instances try to take over the wlan device which results in what you are seeing.

I have no idea how to fix this right now, so this has to wait until I'm able to think of proper fix.

As a workaround, don't use netif restart but kldunload if_iwn; kldload if_iwn instead.
