The machine freezes immediately and only hardreset works. I haven't had such problems under normal conditions, i'm also running Xorg. (must check the version), and as window manager i'm using XFCE. Also i've noticed something strange when running the latest ipw driver for -current : cvsup sessions can't finish successfully, and they always exit with "TreeCompFailed network failure" but on different places. I haven't had such issues with ndis(at least when i was using it, before ipw came out) and previous versions of ipw. The machine is IBM ThinkPad X31. P.S.: This is probably more appropriate for the ipw forum, but i'm curious if anyone else has similar problems?
