I have a problem with the channel configuration of wi-interfaces in
rc.conf. In hostap mode the interface is always using channel 1.

The statement:
ifconfig_wi0="inet 172.17.16.1/26  ssid ap.huub.wleiden.net media DS/11Mbps 
mediaopt hostap channel 7"
results in an ap-interface running at channel 1.

I found that splitting the statement in the startup script is effective in 
setting the proper channel:
ifconfig_wi0="inet 172.17.16.1/26  ssid ap.huub.wleiden.net media DS/11Mbps 
mediaopt hostap"
ifconfig_wi0_alias0="channel 7"

Now the ap is indeed using channel 7.

I am running 7.2-RELEASE-p4

A bug in the wi-driver?

Kind regards,
Huub
