>Description:
Installing using the wi0 device in an wlan network which has
encryption key fails, because there is no way to set the nwkey
parameter on the ifconfig wi0 command.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up wlan with encryption and try to install netbsd using
that network.
>Fix:
Add option to add random ifconfig commands before running
dhclient. Especially if the nwkey capable network is detected
(i.e ifconfig $interface | grep -q nwid returns true).
