--- Comment #1 from Hiren Panchasara <hiren at FreeBSD.org> ---
A few observations:
1) if a network/ssid goes away, iwn connects to the next available one without
trouble.
2) wpa_cli reassoc - works perfectly as jhb suggested

Problem occurs when I start up my phone hotspot (which has higher priority in
wpa_supplicant.conf) and try to associate with it via 'service netif restart'
as I used to. 

Actually, after doing 'service netif restart' iwn doesn't associate with
anything. Which is the actual bug.

# ifconfig -v wlan0 list scan

returns nothing.

Sometimes (not always) on 'service netif restart' iwn crashes:

After this, only way to revive iwn is 
# kldunload if_iwn; kldload if_iwn
