Since from that address, you are using the latest version of the benjsc 
perforce branch, you are probably using the same as I, since I took the 
initial version from the sam_vap branch (before vap got introduced).

I do not know how far it is, but there is vap_releng7 in the sam 
perforce and projects/vap7 in svn on which Sam Leffler is actively 
working: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-projects/2009-January/thread.html

I would like to have if_iwn working on a otherwise unmodified 
7.1-RELEASE-pX and help to test it, but maybe waiting on sam to bring 
vap to 7 would be a better way to go.

Cheers,
Jan Henrik
