FYI, I updated last Tues. and after some time the network would stop
working.  A kldunload/kldload cycle would bring it back for a while.
On Sat. I updated the kernel and that went away.  It's been up almost
48 hours now without that issue.  So I was a little concerned but now
things are back to they were a while ago.  This is on my backup/test
laptop that I use to -current out before updating my day to day
laptop.  My day to day one uses iwm(4) whereas my backup needs to
use iwlwifi(4).  I use my older laptop more since it runs faster,
cooler and better battery life even when sleeping.

Thanks,

Doug A.
