This sounds great, but I have a question -- do we need arlconfig(8), or
can we just use ifconfig?  I believ a fair amount of work has gone into
consolidation here, and ifconfig generally handle most things?  Is there
something specifically that ifconfig can't do that we need to add (or
create a generic 802.11 tool to satisfy)?
