In contrast to 6.2-RELEASE, monitor does not work. Kismet does not receive anything, while it does with ath or ural (even at the same time). dmesg with debug.iwi=2 is below -- anything unusual? Moreover, "ifconfig iwi0 scan" sometimes just hangs, which never happened on 6.2-RELEASE. I currently cannot reproduce it, though. Another behavior that changed is "iwi0: radio turned off" being always displayed when something fails because of it -- and not as the switch is turned off. "iwi0: radio turned on" is never displayed. I guess that is expected. (I think I like the new behavior better.) Something that really got better is that the device sometimes recovers from firmware errors without me kldunloading if_iwi and I have yet to see not enough dma memory for the firmware. (Firmware errors happened regularly with 6.2-RELEASE. I did not test enough to say if that got any better.) BTW: Playing around with iwi, ath, and ural removing and plugging back in the devices (not iwi), I had two crashes. I am not sure how to investigate that, though. (It produced vmcores on reboot -- I guess I have to read that chapter on kernel debugging in the handbook.)
