When I don't get a double fault - I can get it up and running but see exactly 
that

ieee80211_newstate: INIT -> INIT
wi_newstate: INIT -> INIT
ieee80211_newstate: INIT -> INIT
wi_info_intr: LINK_STAT 0x1
wi_newstate: INIT -> RUN
ieee80211_newstate: INIT -> RUN
ieee80211_newstate: invalid transition

I can reproduce it - However most of the time I still get a double fault in 
the arc4rand call to mtx_lock_flags - after looking at the wep_attach code 
which seems to be fine - I am beginning to think that it most be something
 else
