Description Anton Babushkin 2008-05-09 20:00:01 UTC 
On 7.0-STABLE every 3-5 seconds I'm getting repeating messages:

and somtimes: "firmware stuck in state 4, resetting", as in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/122597

setting -bgscan not solves problem - I had to "kldunload/load if_iwi"

There is no such problem on 6.3-RELEASE.

Over to maintainer(s).
Comment 2 Davide 2009-12-01 12:53:57 UTC 
it's not a fix, but you could try this temporary workaround and see if
it gets better.
change the interface bmiss parameter:

ifconfig iwi0 bmiss 50

(bmiss/bmissthreshold can be a value between 1 and 255)

(or ifconfig wlan0 bmiss 50 on 8.0)
