FWIW, my testing on RELENG_6 has been very positive so far. I've been 
connecting to two different APs using both WPA and WEP without issues. I 
used to get the corrupted MAC message occasionally with the current 
driver, but not any more.

The only thing out of the ordinary is the following message, which was 
already mentioned by someone on freebsd-net:

iwi_cmd: cmd 0x19 not sent, busy

This appears right before the 'link up' message, but after 
wpa_supplicant has started and dhclient has sent the first DHCPREQUEST.
