From: Dominic Fandrey To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, kamikaze@bsdforen.de Cc: Subject: Re: kern/144898: [wpi] [panic] wpi panics system Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 09:59:36 +0200 Just a followup. The device works when I reduce kern.hz to 200Hz. There's a 50% package loss, but TCP works fine as long as you can live with the increased latency. Of course you can forget about UDP. I can still reliably produce a panic by turning the hardware radio switch off while the device is up. Also the range of the device is really bad. I cannot establish a connection in the exact same spot where an atheros device works flawlessly and reports great reception.
