I wouldn't use some ancient snapshot of wpi. There have been significant
reliability and performance improvements made to the driver in
CURRENT/RELENG_7 . If you are running 7.0, update to RELENG_7.

The bus_dmamem_alloc messages are harmless. Have you rebooted since
adding legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=3D1 to boot loader.conf? Is it in your
kernel environment?=20
kenv | grep wpi
If it isn't, unload the modules, and do
kenv legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=3D1
I'd also strongly recommend moving to a version that has wpi by default
- ie RELENG_7 - and re-report any problems you have. It is quite likely
that it will work much more smoothly with these fixes, which are on
RELENG_7 and not RELENG_7_0.

Update wpi(4) with stability fixes
- remove second taskqueue
- busdma 16k alignment workaround
- use busdma instead of external mbuf storage on Rx
- locking fixes
- net80211 state change fixes
- improve scanning reliability
- improve radio hw switch interaction
- consolidate callouts
Cheers
