    Sorry for cross posting - with 6.0 so near, I wasn't sure which list to
    send this too. I'm not subscribed to -current, so please cc me if the
    conversation is moved there.

    I just cvsup'd RELENG_6_0 and upgraded by 6.0-RC1 install this morning,
    eager to see if WPA with ndis0 would now work. The good news: it does.
      The bad news: ifconfig doesn't report all the information correctly.

    Here is what ifconfig -a is reporting for ndis0:

    ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
             inet6 fe80::20f:66ff:fefe:a1a7%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
             inet 192.168.23.13 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.23.255
             ether 00:0f:66:fe:a1:a7
             media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/54Mbps)
             status: associated
             ssid BGP4 channel 1 bssid 00:0f:66:bc:9b:0a
             authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS

    The problem is that the connection is actually on channel 11, not
    channel 1, and its using WPA.

    Is this a known issue?
