[-- Attachment #1 --] 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...). 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.
