This and other points: Ok, ok ;o) I just waited, how much you are
interested in which things. As the first show, you can download
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.cz/pub/FreeBSD-local/ndis/gdb.out.bz2 , where is
output of these gdb commands:

file kernel.debug
core-file /var/crash/vmcore.14
bt
up 12
disas
quit

Is output of ifconfig sufficient? In other case, I do know how get
this information.

Ok, I do it. Now I have to go to lunch ;o) Do you have this or similar
card too? The driver is bcmwl5.sys and it seems that it is shared
among several cards.

I'm sorry - how do you get information about used chipsets?

Yes, freezes up. Without any message. Even leds on keyboard had
been blocked.

The same problem as above - I do not know, where to get information
about used chipset :o|

If you want, it would not be problem for me to give you an ssh access
to my notebook in my working time (about 4 hours before and 4 hours
after exactly this time).
