Created attachment 176910 [details] dmesg printout Hi all, I am new to freebsd, thank you for a wonderful system! I keep getting iwn controller panic while booting. Eventually the machine does come up and does connect to the wireless network. But it takes quite long to boot and has most of the time one, sometimes up to 4 rounds of iwn controller panic. Sometimes, but rarely, it does not panic. The relevant lines from rc.conf around the panic are below and I attach dmesg, rc.conf and loader.conf The panic might have something to do with dhcp since I do not get it when I use dhclient after boot. Thank you in advance for all tips Best regards Markus ** my system I am on a Lenovo SL520 Laptop the wlan is identified as iwn0: <Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000> mem 0xf2200000-0xf2201fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci3 uname -a FreeBSD ########## 11.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Mon Oct 24 06:55:27 UTC 2016 root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 freebsd-version 11.0-RELEASE-p3 ** when does the panic show up I only get this error when booting. I cannot remember having seen this panic when I delete the DHCP from ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" and use dhclient later. When I play around manually, I never get the panic. Oddly. when I use SYNDHCP instead of DHCP I get an errormessage while booting about some wrong pararameter, but *no panic either*. This errormessage flashes by, to fast to read, and does not show up in either dmesg or messages. Putting if_iwn_load="YES" iwn1000fw_load="YES" into loader.conf, does not change anything except reporting "module iwn already present!" in line 9 of dmesg. The result without the two lines is the same. btw The wlan worked fine when I had PC-BSD 10.3 on the Laptop for a couple of weeks, but being new to BSD maybe I just didn't notice. ** Excerpt from dmesg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iwn0: <Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000> mem 0xf2200000-0xf2201fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci3 . . . wlan0: Ethernet address: ##:##:##:##:##:## ... iwn0: iwn_read_firmware: ucode rev=0x271f0501 wlan0: link state changed to UP re0: link state changed to UP ... wlan0: link state changed to DOWN iwn0: device timeout iwn0: iwn_read_firmware: ucode rev=0x271f0501 iwn0: scan timeout iwn0: iwn_read_firmware: ucode rev=0x271f0501 wlan0: link state changed to UP iwn0: iwn_intr: fatal firmware error firmware error log: error type = "BAD_COMMAND" (0x00000007) program counter = 0x000024D8 source line = 0x00000446 error data = 0x0000000000000000 branch link = 0x000024D6000024D6 interrupt link = 0x0000082600000000 time = 8365 driver status: tx ring 0: qid=0 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 1: qid=1 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 2: qid=2 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 3: qid=3 cur=2 queued=0 tx ring 4: qid=4 cur=58 queued=0 tx ring 5: qid=5 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 6: qid=6 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 7: qid=7 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 8: qid=8 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 9: qid=9 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 10: qid=10 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 11: qid=11 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 12: qid=12 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 13: qid=13 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 14: qid=14 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 15: qid=15 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 16: qid=16 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 17: qid=17 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 18: qid=18 cur=0 queued=0 tx ring 19: qid=19 cur=0 queued=0 rx ring: cur=19 iwn0: iwn_panicked: controller panicked, iv_state = 5; restarting wlan0: link state changed to DOWN iwn0: iwn_read_firmware: ucode rev=0x271f0501 wlan0: link state changed to UP

The same problem also happens on Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300. I'll attach a dmesg output later.
