FWIW, I also have an i6k and have a few-months-old -CURRENT running on it
and said problem is not present.  I'm not 100% sure of the date, but it was
shortly after the wpa_supplicant import and Brooks Davis' big rc fix-up.  If
it's important, I'll grab the sup date and post the assorted world/kernel
configs.
