--Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I'm running 9.0-BETA3 on iBook G4 and have problems with bwn(4). I use it along with firmware from net/bwn-firmware-kmod. It scans and connects fine, but after a couple of minutes it starts loosing packets hard. Sometimes it makes system crash like that: http://people.freebsd.org/~novel/misc/IMG_20111002_160035.jpg As you can see on that pic only 4 packets passed of 58. At the same time, I can see broadcast traffic when tcpdumping on wlan0. I've also tried bwi(4), but the result is the same with the exception that it panics more often. I am connected to the same access point on the another laptop, so it's not an access point issue. It doesn't look like a hardware issue because wireless works fine on OS X. I don't know if that's a regression as I've just installed BETA3 on it.
