wireless lagg initialization is broken in this scenario, all-right. The init/rc system as it is now can’t cope easily with a modern asynchronous initialization sequence. Sure you could probably find an order which works, only to find yourself in trouble next time you want add some modern

Hello, Today I tried a simple wireless failover on a machine running free-bsd. After reboot the system cannot complete the initialization sequence OK with devmatcher. The devd/devmatch(8) combo correctly identified the wireless card and loaded required drivers and firmware. rcorder(8) reports
