I am not talking about unloading kernel modules (I wouldn't unload if_ath by force and complain about it). The panic is happening while ejecting the PCMCIA card and wpa_supplicant is running. The cbb(4) problem with the high load is much more annoying for me, because the only solution is to reboot the system to get it stable again. One thing I also noticed is that if I have set a high resolution with vidcontrol (1600x1200) and the text terminal display becomes really slow, ath(4) has difficulties to load the device when it is inserted into the PCMCIA-slot. -- Martin Sugioarto
