Bernhard Schmidt, an expert in the area, is having a hard time
figuring it out. I, with zero experience in the area, no testing
hardware (just my one nic), am going to have an easier time to figure
this out?

This assumes I have the time to work on this.
Currently *all three* of my nics do not work on HEAD. I chasing down
one of them on -usb now with hps. iwn is the second. The last is alc
which I've been told the vendor may be working on (and db is working
on as well).
Furthermore my main development computer (which had working internet)
has a broken motherboard which I am waiting for a replacement for.
I also work during the day and take a course on the Weekend. I simply
*do not* have the time to track this down.
When I do have to work on FreeBSD stuff I have { ports, src, doc }
stuff that I already do in addition to working on closing PRs, chasing
down users, etc.
Sometimes the answer isn't "please do more work". At this time I
*can't* be the one tracking down the iwn bug / missing feature.
