If someone gets interested in playing with iwn, it would be great if
they could work on resume.  FreeBSD 8 is *wonderful* for S3 suspend and
resume.  I really appreciate the work which has been done to get it to
work.

The iwn driver is my only issue.  I have put up the verbose dmesg for
boot and resume if anyone is interested.

After resume the ifconfig shows "associated" on iwn0 and "no carrier" on
wlan0.
