Yes it seems to be.  On the other hand, the `device timeout' was
produced when a microwave oven is operating, but it occurs rarely
and difficult to debug.  I could see `device timeout' on only RELENG_8...

Yes, I'm using wpa_supplicant.

Hmm, I can't get this. wpa_supplicant on HEAD and RELENG_9 also set
roaming mode MANUAL, isn't it?

Thanks!
