It seems that 8.0 discussion is still going on on @current... if I
should have posted this on @stable, please, feel free to chastise me as
appropriate.

After updating to r198831 my laptop no longer associates with either of
two APs I have. Rolling back just 'sys/net80211' to r198443 fixes the
problem.

Working system:
FreeBSD RabbitsDen.RabbitsLawn.verizon.net 8.0-RC1 FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 #0
r198443M: Sat Oct 24 14:03:30 EDT 2009
root at RabbitsDen.RabbitsLawn.verizon.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TPX60  i386

Non-working system:
FreeBSD RabbitsDen.RabbitsLawn.verizon.net 8.0-RC2 FreeBSD 8.0-RC2 #0
r198931: Wed Nov  4 20:56:16 EST 2009
root at RabbitsDen.RabbitsLawn.verizon.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TPX60  i386

APs are is:
SSID/MESH ID    BSSID              CHAN RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
AP_SSID         00:1f:33:3b:xx:xx    3   54M -68:-96  100 EP   RSN WPS
WME
AP_SSID         00:1f:90:cb:xx:xx    8   54M -73:-96  100 EPS  RSN WPA
ATH

Relevant piece of wpa_supplicant.conf is:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=2

network={
  ssid="AP_SSID"
  scan_ssid=1
  priority=1
  proto=WPA
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  psk="Really secure something"
}

APs are set not to broadcast SSID, but enabling broadcast does not
change much.

Running wpa_supplicant with -d shows that it could not match AP_SSID.

If there is anything else I can provide, please, let me know.
