I am not convinced that is actually a regression in current. I believe it could
be the result of a recent change in current to make it such that wireless
"parent interfaces" are no longer listed in the output of ifconfig(8), but
instead they are listed in the output of "sysctl net.wlan.devices". Other than
that there is no change to the configuration required to bring up wireless
devices. We are waiting on the bug reporter to confirm this is the case, and
that there is no regression.

The change that brought this difference in behaviour was committed to current
on 20150827 in r287197:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=287197

It may be that the PC-BSD tools have not yet been updated to reflect this
change in current when running the PC-BSD EDGE branch.

Copying in Kris Moore from PC-BSD in case he has any comment on the PC-BSD
tools.(In reply to Ben Lavery from comment #5)
