I've seen other posts in newsgroups concerning this issue w/ no resolution other than "somebody should send a PR". Typically it will take 4 hours and then I get the following: Apr 9 01:56:12 inspiron_iwi0 kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting Sometimes, it will only take 2.5-3 hours under heavy use. I just don't know what triggers the failure. I've been hobbling along w/ "netif restart"s rc.conf: ------- hostname=inspiron_iwi0.sprague.com ifconfig_iwi0="WPA DHCP" ifconfig_iwi0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.8 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_iwi0_alias1="inet 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0" >How-To-Repeat: Failure occurs after ~4 hours use, to 2.5-3hr under heavy use. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
