>Description:

	Installing using the wi0 device in an wlan network which has
	encryption key fails, because there is no way to set the nwkey
	parameter on the ifconfig wi0 command. 

>How-To-Repeat:

	Set up wlan with encryption and try to install netbsd using
	that network.

>Fix:

	Add option to add random ifconfig commands before running
	dhclient. Especially if the nwkey capable network is detected
	(i.e ifconfig $interface | grep -q nwid returns true).
