Configured just to get IPv4 address.

After several more reboots (needed to bisect another problem, see thread
"Recent kernel anomalies" ;-)), I've hit a state where dhcpcd was unable
to acquire an address even with custom flags. There were more errors than
just "transition lost"...

wlan0: ieee80211_new_state_locked: pending SCAN -> AUTH transition lost
iwm0: device timeout
iwm0: dumping device error log
iwm0: errlog not found, skipping
iwm0: could not initiate scan
iwm0: could not initiate scan
iwm0: could not initiate scan

... and a system was left without an address, until I've manually
restarted networking via "/etc/rc.d/netif restart".

Reverting back to dhclient made getting the connectivity smooth again for
me.

HTH.
