I can't get wlan0 to create via rc.conf with:
I CAN clone the interface after rc.conf with:
at a shell prompt.
The wireless networking works fine after that, in fact it works great.
I just want to startup the networking via rc.conf, which appears to be the more correct way to do it.
/etc/defaults/rc.conf has a commented out entry for wlans_ath0, and I assume that works, since most of the postings are for ath0.
However, for sure it's not working for me.
I am running 8.0 kernel (optimized).
Am I doing this correctly? Any suggestions?
(I've read man wlan and iwi and ifconfig, and this does appear on the surface to be the correct settings in rc.conf
Thank you.

Code:
wlans_iwi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
I CAN clone the interface after rc.conf with:
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwi0
