[-- Attachment #1 --] TL;DR: Wireless NIC iwn was working on my main laptop with main-n278149-6b96e7a57317; after updating (this morning) to main-n278156-b2ac169802eb, it did not. Some additional details: * For the last few weeks, I have only tested this at home (daily updates/tracking head); this morning, the rebuild itself was done at home, but by the time for the reboot after the update, I was on my way to the office, so I was on a commuter train (with WiFi that uses a captive portal). * The "wifi" LEP on the laptop, which normally is on when the wiwif NIC is enabled, was not on. I tried issung "service netif restart wlan0"; the wifi LED flickered briefly, then went out. * I rebooted to stable/14 (stable/14-n271780-0ee191f2f035) while still on the same train, and was able to see the wifi NIC working. * The same laptop is presently running stable/14 (stable/14-n271780-0ee191f2f035), using wifi, in the office. It had also successfully used the wifi NIC under stable/14-n271780-0ee191f2f035 at home. * A different laptop (that I use for travel when I expect to need to cross a country's border), and which normally uses its wired NIC (em0) when it is at home came up under main-n278156-b2ac169802eb and had no issues with the wored NIC. (It's at home right now; I can't readily flip the BIOS switch to tell it to activate the wireless NIC from here.) I note that main-n278156-b2ac169802eb is just a couple of commits beyond the current "stabweek" point, so that may be something of which to be aware. Peace, david -- David H.
