Description Rick Sprague 2008-04-09 15:30:00 UTC

I've not had this problem under 6.x or WinXP.  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.

Can you please try 'ifconfig iwi0 -bgscan' and see if the problem goes
away.


cheers,
Andrew
