This helps - the panic is gone.

But, on the other hand, an /etc/ifconfig.wi0 like

<snip>

[hauke@pizza] ~ > cat /etc/ifconfig.wi0
# $Id: ifconfig.wi0,v 1.1 2004/05/20 18:24:03 hauke Exp hauke $
#
# Set up wlan accesspoint

chan 11
media DS11
nwid BallPark nwkey "1234512345123"

# Be an accesspoint
mediaopt hostap

up

</snip>

gives me a "SIOCSIFMEDIA: Invalid argument" during boot no matter how I
place the "media DS11".

The ifconfig(8) and ifmedia(4) man pages tell me nothing about
preconditions, and an "ifconfig wi0 media DS11" from the command line works
just fine - although I noticed that it wipes out the "mediaopt hostap"
unless I add that to the ifconfig parameters.
