urtwn0 - driver didn't set altq_maxlen

[Ron Georgia]

Peeter,

thank you so much for your response. I added (and updated) my rc.conf 
file as you prescribed and my USB wifi works. I still see the "wlan0: 
driver didn't set altq_maxlen", but as long as it doesn't interfere I'll 
dig into that later.
