Initial test looks good.  I've enabled bluetooth to make sure that it
doesn't break iwn(4) and I see no issues running on wireless.

I reverted my hack to disable 11N support and iwn(4) still has serious
issues negotiating with my $DAYJOB wireless APs.  So, I'm still running
with 11N disabled for now.
