: To make things simpler for testing, I have followed your advice and removed

:
: /sbin/ifconfig wi0 ssid princenet \
: channel 1 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap debug up
: /sbin/sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="wi0 fxp0"
: /sbin/sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1

Can you build a kernel with debug?

: worked great for days when I was at home and out of town over the break. At
: home I was in range of my brother's D-Link wireless router (running wep),
: and I had no problems. Away I was out of range of all other wireless

: (not running wep) and without a doubt within a few minutes of enabling

: get that far.
You are the second person to mention this. I've run in a similar
setups before, but only by accident..
: The only thing I could think of is the Linksys AP must be sending some sort
: of invalid or unknown broadcast which causes something here to go haywire
: and cause a panic.

: Any other thoughts? Anything else I can do or try?
Without knowing what the panic is, it is hard to know what to do about
it.
