Keyboard and screen also lock up; only way out is to hard reset the laptop. I figured Ralink chips are well supported but this one is giving me a headache for some reason. I tried both amd64 9.1-RELEASE and 10-CURRENT but to no avail. Here's dmesg output from within the LiveCD: http://hastebin.com/xabevukora.textile Also, pciconf -l -v output: http://hastebin.com/qusaxetapo.textile I'm trying to configure WiFi by following the Handbook: Code: # ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ral0 wlan0: Ethernet address: a4:17:31:0f:47:94 Code: # ifconfig wlan0 up scan And this is the place where everything locks up, on bringing device up. Let me know if I could do anything else. Thanks in advance. >How-To-Repeat: bring device up by: # ifconfig wlan0 up >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
