The net80211 layer has changed significantly and all wireless
drivers that depend on it need to be recompiled. 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.
