Lately I have had serious issues with my system successfully associating.
These were not present with 10.3.

Once associated, it works fine, but a dropped association is often not
re-established and the network fails to come up at boot time. Kernel is
GENERIC except the 4BSD scheduler.
I've been using a mobile hotspot this week during travels and it has become
a real pain. With lot of patience and many "netif restart wlan0"
operations, it will come up, but it can be painful. Here is what I see in
messages:
