-> hangs for about 5 minutes then loops through the errors again until I
physically remove the NIC. It takes a while for the box to realize the
card has
been ejected, ~2-10 minutes.

	if I startup the ipaq and bring up the wireless card -before-
the fbsd box everything is fine.

as for the panic, the box rebooted awfully quick, maybe coulda been
anything no kernel gdb sorry. and I have not been able to reproduce it as
of yet.
	This behavior seems to affect openbsd the same way.
	and for the record linux sucks. I would love to see the daemon
	on my ipaq.
