Synopsis: [iwn] Network keeps disconnecting when /etc/rc.d/netif restart is run State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended State-Changed-By: bschmidt State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 3 19:59:38 UTC 2011 State-Changed-Why: This is known issue. There is race in devd and our rc-subsystem if wpa_supplicant is involved effectivly resulting in starting wpa_supplicant twice. Both instances try to take over the wlan device which results in what you are seeing. I have no idea how to fix this right now, so this has to wait until I'm able to think of proper fix. As a workaround, don't use netif restart but kldunload if_iwn; kldload if_iwn instead.
