Surprise that scan would occur gratuitously.  When I type

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rsu0 wlanmode sta

I don't get any scan.  But I can follow with
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
and this connects or associates.  I still need

dhclient wlan0  
or
ifconfig wlan0 inet 192.168.0.101 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 192.168.0.1

This is for Hiro H50191 USB-stick wireless adapter.
Chipset is RTL8191SU, FreeBSD >= 10 device rsu.

With re(4) bug, this is my only way for Internet access from FreeBSD on
MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard.
