etc network.subr
usr.sbin/wpa/wpa_supplicant driver_freebsd.c
Log:
MFC network.subr r1.181, driver_freebsd.c r1.15
Change wpa_supplicant to down the interface at the start of the init routine.
wpa_supplicant expects that it has exclusive access to the net80211 state so
when its starts poking in the WEP/WPA settings and the card is already
scanning it can cause net80211 to try and associate incorrectly with a
protected AP.
This is an inconvenience for firmware based cards such as iwi where it can be
sent an auth instruction with incomplete security info and cause a firmware
error.
Remove the 'ifconfig up' from network.subr since wpa_supplicant will
immediately down the interface again.
