            Bug ID: 211436
           Summary: Link aggregation setting wlan mac changed in 11
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rwestlun at gmail.com

The handbook shows setting up wifi/ethernet failover like this:

> ifconfig_bge0="up"
> ifconfig_iwn0="ether 00:21:70:da:ae:37"
> wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
> ifconfig_wlan0="WPA"
> cloned_interfaces="lagg0"
> ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport bge0 laggport wlan0 DHCP"

As of FreeBSD 11, this no longer works.  The correct way is like this:

> ifconfig_bge0="up"
> create_args_wlan0="wlanaddr 00:21:70:da:ae:37"
> wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
> ifconfig_wlan0="WPA"
> cloned_interfaces="lagg0"
> ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport bge0 laggport wlan0 DHCP"


The relevant section is 30.7, example 30.3.
