I checked that. I think I have the right branch on the disk, HEAD is
358af07. I had some problems building the world the first time. So I
run "make buildworld" again, then build the kernel and installed
everything. I also ran "make upgrade".

So hopefully I did run all steps that are necessary for upgrading from
3.6.

That should not be a problem as neither wpa-supplicant nor hostapd are
loaded. Just running "ifconfig ath0 up" stops the system.
