Sorry for cross posting - with 6.0 so near, I wasn't sure which list to 
send this too.  I'm not subscribed to -current, so please cc me if the 
conversation is moved there.

I just cvsup'd RELENG_6_0 and upgraded by 6.0-RC1 install this morning, 
eager to see if WPA with ndis0 would now work.  The good news: it does. 
  The bad news:  ifconfig doesn't report all the information correctly.

Here is what ifconfig -a is reporting for ndis0:

ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         inet6 fe80::20f:66ff:fefe:a1a7%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
         inet 192.168.23.13 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.23.255
         ether 00:0f:66:fe:a1:a7
         media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/54Mbps)
         status: associated
         ssid BGP4 channel 1 bssid 00:0f:66:bc:9b:0a
         authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS

The problem is that the connection is actually on channel 11, not 
channel 1, and its using WPA.

Is this a known issue?
