All,

there have been a lot of problem reports with iwi(4) lately.  Can everybody=
=20
who does have problems with it please take a look at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/new_iwi/

There is a new version of the driver (converted to use firmware(9)).  It=20
includes some fundamental changes that greatly help stability and=20
performance.  There are, however, still some instabilities with it.

I'd appreciate if you could give it a try and report back.  If it breaks=20
(device timeout, connection stall, etc. ...) you could help us a great deal=
=20
if you set "sysctl debug.iwi=3D3" and include the console output at the tim=
e of=20
the failure.  If you don't see something interesting there, you might want =
to=20
increase debug.iwi even further, but that will be *very* chatty.

Thanks in advance.

=2D-=20
