One on the new properties of vaps is that you have to specify the mode
of the wlan interface during creation.  Current you do this in the rc
scripts with:

vap_create_wlan0="wlanmode ap"

I need to add rc.conf.5 entries for the vap stuff.  I also need to
decide if vaps_FOO is really what we want or if wlans_FOO would be
better.
