Please, do it ;-) I am using IPSEC anyway, but any information that could help to fix wi(4) (or adding a workaround for a firmware bug) will be useful. Don't forget to include the wi(4) initialization messages in your test report. My DWL-650 is identified as: wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3873 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.05 I can trigger the problem sending a file such as /kernel via scp or ftp. Be advised: your system may hang, and since the DWL-520 does not use a removable pccard, you may need to reset the system. Thank you, JMA -- ****** Jose M.
