Re: wifi SIOCS80211 error in 8.99.32 and iwn0

That should have been fixed already, but the build cluster might not
have picked up the fix.  If you can't build your own kernel, wait for
the next build cycle.  Other folks who had the same problem have
confirmed the fix, so I'm pretty sure your problem will be fixed too.
