--- Comment #2 from Teran McKinney <sega01 at go-beyond.org> ---
Hi Andriy,

Thank you for your reply. I was unaware of the wlanaddr option in ifconfig.

However, I still have the same behavior as setting ether on wlan0 -- I can
scan, but not associate.

If I run ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanaddr c1:93:07:21:ce:c0 up, the
device comes up, finds an open network, tries to associate, and tries over and
over. If I drop the wlanaddr option, it associates just fine.

Maybe there's another bug somewhere? This used to work with 'ether' on ath0
back on FreeBSD 10, but I now understand I should have been using 'wlanaddr',
instead.

Thank you!
