I have all the required modules loaded and I can do an "InstaPanic" by doing ifconfig ipw0 scan or ifconfig ipw0 chanlist 1-11. The latter example I'm not sure is a valid option but it should definately not result in a instant panic(). I tried a backtrace on my kernel dump but it seemed messed up and useless. If you have any patches I can test them out if needed. I'm running -current from following time : Thu Jun 20 Best regards, Nicolai Petri
