I tried doing this, but it turns out that wlan devices don't appear to =
send devd LINK_UP / LINK_DOWN events.  It would be nice to have a clean =
solution to this.  By default, using the stock rc scripts, my router is =
currently not able to forward packets from the WiFi until I've logged =
into it and manually run 'service pf restart', which is a bit crazy.  =
I've hacked around it by having a script run from rc.local that sleeps =
for 60 seconds and then restarts a few things, but that's really, really =
ugly. =20

On closer inspection, pf doesn't fail silently, it complains about a =
syntax error in my config file because wlan0 is not a known interface.

We therefore have an rc ordering problem if you want to use pf and WiFi =
at the same time.  This problem was introduced some time between 9.2 and =
10.0.
