I updated the laptop to r335884 last night, and 'service

kernel is supposed to create the network interface 'run0', but it
doesn't. This is the immediate reason why wpa_supplicant fails.

The non-creation of 'run0' is a regression. I don't know of any
workaround.


The steps 'mergemaster -p' and 'mergemaster' were done during the
upgrade, so /etc is updated.


Bug report for this problem:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229738

This is a very serious regression breaking WiFi.

It's likely the switch from using usb.conf to devmatch.conf (see r329148).

I can confirm the problem, inserting the ralink usb wifi dongle doesn't do anything (I'm not using it anymore so I didn't notice the problem), though the action in devmatch.conf is executed, so it might be the problem somewhere below in devmatch(8).
