6-BETA1 iwi + wpa_supplicant fails, and sometimes silently re boots

I agree and that is what I started to do but I needed to add the iwi device
to the ethernet-nic-regex variable in order for the dhclient to get the link
up/down notification.  I'm not sure what the recommended way is for this.  
I guess I could just create a new notify for that device in the included
file.

I strongly suggest you put this in /usr/local/etc/devd - no worries about 
diffs then, and it makes any install doco much simpler ("copy this file to 
X")
