Hrumpf! I spoke to quickly again. I had tested with a 1.5.x kernel but
looked at -current source. I'm sorry for wasting your resources here
somewhat. I can get my card to use the persistent key with -current
kernel, simply by configuring an arbitrary temporary key, like:
ifconfig an0 nwid "blah" nwkey " " up
Still, maybe the above split in ifconfig parameters would still be
more elegant?
