I've been meaning to ask this for a while.  Wouldn't it be better if
the kernel default for an(4) and wi(4) was "ANY"?  That string appears
to be a magic wildcard value to the card's firmware where with card
will peer up with any other SSID.  Putting "NetBSD IBSS" in there is
an amusing way to advertise one's OS, but it does little for
interoperability.
