My bad -- I misread the manpage.

This will work better probably:

notify 0 {
    match "system"  "IFNET";
    match "type"       "LINK_UP";
    media-type         "802.11";
    match "device"    "wlan[0-9]+";
    action "/etc/rc.d/dhclient quietstart $subsystem";
};

    Kind of funny why things are setup that way anyhow for wireless post-8.x...
    All else fails, you sh -x the rc.d script at boot or add
rc_debug="YES" to rc.conf and see what's getting passed along...
