My bad -- I misread the manpage.
This will work better probably:
notify 0 {
match "system" "IFNET";
match "type" "LINK_UP";
media-type "802.11";
match "device" "wlan[0-9]+";
action "/etc/rc.d/dhclient quietstart $subsystem";
};
Kind of funny why things are setup that way anyhow for wireless post-8.x...
All else fails, you sh -x the rc.d script at boot or add
rc_debug="YES" to rc.conf and see what's getting passed along...
Cheers,
