batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
For panic backtrace 'options KDB_TRACE' + 'options KDB' are needed; however, since the driver was marked as 'tested' in https://wiki.freebsd.org/projects/ifnet/net80211 and this PR is ~7 years old I assume it's no longer relevant; in case if that's not true feel free to reopen the PR.
