I have this same card on a acer s3 (utltrabook)

@adrian this is the one I reported the performance issues but now seems to
be working ok.

For the record this is with --> r280273

commit d7efe7e99e68d52fa754f4e935814c492d818ece

    Permit multiple arguments for the nonnull attribute.

    This is very useful for non-trivial functions and doesn't
    affect existing uses.

    MFC after:  5 days

Notes:
    svn path=/head/; revision=280273


I'm noticing something wron with "ifconfig scan" too, it listed fine as a
normal user, but that's not really re-scanning...

% ifconfig wlan0 scan
SSID/MESH ID    BSSID              CHAN RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
****       *:1c:68    1   54M -93:-96  100 EP   RSN HTCAP WPS WPA WME
****       *:13:c0    6   54M -80:-96  100 EP   RSN HTCAP WPS WME
****       *:e2:0c    6   54M -83:-96  100 EP   RSN HTCAP WME
****      *:f7:8c    6   54M -109:-96  100 EP   RSN HTCAP WPS WPA WME

Trying with sudo gets in a hanged state...

[user@host:/usr/src ]% sudo ifconfig wlan0 scan

^C

but after the ^C as a normal user again and:
ifconfig wlan0 scan

***** ...   *:99:01    6   54M -96:-96  100 E  <------- This is new so it
re-scanned


I see nothing in dmesg
