As
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2015-September/057403.html
explains, setting the MAC address doesn't work on all wifi adapters. For
example, it didn't work on my ath0, whereas setting the ethernet MAC address as
suggested in comment 4 works for me. From my /etc/rc.conf:

# Link aggregation, re0+wlan0 -> lagg0
ifconfig_re0="ether b8:ee:65:5b:32:59"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA"
create_args_wlan0="country FR"
cloned_interfaces="lagg0"
ifconfig_lagg0="up laggproto failover laggport re0 laggport wlan0 DHCP"
ifconfig_lagg0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"

Can you test whether setting the ethernet MAC address works for you as well so
I can submit a doc patch either describing both methods (less than ideal IMO)
or giving only the method setting the ethernet MAC address (if it works with
all supported FreeBSD versions)?
