iwn(4) doesn't like hardware RF switches

Hi,
Is it just me, or does the iwn driver in -CURRENT not play well with
hardware RF switches on notebooks? For me the only resemblence of an
event I see is when I switch off RF - the kernel sends a log to syslog.
wpa_supplicant doesn't pick it up, and neither does devd. The result
is that I can't keep wpa_supplicant running and let it reassociate when
I turn off/on, and neither can I start/stop wpa_supplicant from devd
when I turn on/off.
I guess I could leave the RF switch on and just bind a key shortcut in
Xorg to start/stop wpa_supplicant, but a standard approach would be
nice... :)
Thanks,
Aragon
