I got one of these (if_urtwn) and it works enough to download about a meg or so before the watchdog kicks in and I have to ifconfig down/up it to get it to respond again. I even have a patch pending to add the usb identifier for this. Is there someone I can provide debug information for to help resolve this? -- Alfred Perlstein
