Further these + changes require that any program that interacts with the wireless + support in the kernel be recompiled; this includes: ifconfig, + wpa_supplicant, hostapd, and wlanstats. Users must also, for + the moment, kldload the wlan_scan_sta and/or wlan_scan_ap modules + if they use modules for wireless support. These modules implement + scanning support for station and ap modes, respectively. Failure + to load the appropriate module before marking a wireless interface + up will result in a message to the console and the device not + operating properly. + 20070610: The pam_nologin(8) module ceases to provide an authentication function and starts providing an account management function.
