--=-fBpkJ/PnH/vCo/Ibgs0Q Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Coincidently, I tried to revert to the ndis wrapper for my 2200bg after several months using if_iwi... (iwi has some problems: won't associate with hidden ssid host & the g speed negociation leaves something to be desired) I am experiencing the same panic on a very recent current: FreeBSD rainbow.kuatcom.local 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #5: Sat Jun 11 03:15:34 MST 2005 4 months ago if_ndis worked fine with this card... Can't tell you when it broke (just tried today...).=20 Supplimentary information can be provided if anyone is interested in working on the problem. FYI (Probably unrelated): The only thing that changed in my config is the addition of ULE+PREEMPTION.
