@adrian this is the one I reported the performance issues but now seems to
be working ok.
For the record this is with --> r280273

Permit multiple arguments for the nonnull attribute.

svn path=/head/; revision=280273
I'm noticing something wron with "ifconfig scan" too, it listed fine as a
normal user, but that's not really re-scanning...
% ifconfig wlan0 scan
SSID/MESH ID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS

Trying with sudo gets in a hanged state...

^C
but after the ^C as a normal user again and:
ifconfig wlan0 scan
