 Can you check if wpa_supplicant gets started twice after
 "/etc/rc.d/netif restart"?
 
 I have the feeling that this is a more or less known issue, a race
 between devd (/etc/pccard_ether) and /etc/rc.d/netif. There is a small
 window (a few ms) where this can happen and our net80211 isn't capable
 of handling two running wpa_supplicants on the same interface. Which
 leads to all kind of weird issues, .e.g. panics.
