About half as many networks are seen in FreeBSD compared to Windows 
(perhaps sensitivity? antenna config?). IWN drops WPA2 connections after 
a while (not consistent). Once in a blue moon the actual driver goes 
wonky and I get an exciting tx ringbuf etc printout.

Of course this is all hearsay and voodoo without logs, so I will try to 
reproduce these issues and post them.

Also, is the lack of ibss/ahdemo support due to firmware bugs? I noticed 
ibss is commented out in the module source. Wouldn't ahdemo at least be 
somewhat similar to monitor mode?
