Thanks for updating.

I did test iwm.4 and urtwn.4.
It did work before your wifi update, thanks to Imres recent wifi/iwm update.

After your wifi update it still works, ifm without problems.
urtwn I first found not working, this was due to I forgot to insert usb adapter ;)
after inserting it attached and worked.
But booting with urtwn usb adapter in computer it doesn't attach. Removing/inserting it makes it attach.

For all tests I load wifi kernel modules from loader.

I only tested 11g. It seems like urtwn now has 11n support, also it seems like it now has hostap support.
iwm still doesn't have hostap support according to ifconfig list caps.
