Greetings

Are ipw devices expected to work in 8.0-BETA1? Mine apparently
doesn't. I have updated my rc.conf according to the instructions in
UPDATING relating to wlans; the wlan0 interface is created, but
wpa_supplicant doesn't associate.

I ask after seeing this snippet from the list back in March:

If the answer is yes, then I'll try a little harder.

Thanks,
-James
