Introducing wifi to one of my boxes that would have uptimes of months now causes lock-ups of some sort, the machine just completely dies atleast to any networking access and I haven't seen any panicks yet which doesn't really help, power-cycling is the only resolution. Diagram: [freebsd] | [if_fxp]--[if_bridge]--[if_ral] if_ral is in HostAp mode. I also get the same kind of symptomns on my laptop, also with an if_ral, both are manufactured by MSI: MSI CB54G2 and MSI PC54G2. Heavy networking like file transfering, lots of SSH sessions (5/6) and general web browsing cause this to happen a lot, yet if I just do web browsing there will be no lock-up for weeks on end, yet as soon as I start doing heavy networking again it will lock up all with in 10 minutes. I've even tried using just 11b or 54g modes. Please CC me. -- Kimi
