>Description:
	
	Faced with multiple devices "wlanctl" appears to order its output
in the reverse of the fashion used by ifconfig.
	Example below (in "repeat" section):

>How-To-Repeat:
	

	% wlanctl -a

>Fix:
	
	No clue, I haven't looked at the code, but traversing the (probable)
	list in the opposite order should "fix" what I want.
>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
 	wlanctl reports devices in the reverse order of ifconfig
