Yes, as I said: since then. It doesn't work with or without ACPI, so I see this as unrelated to ACPI. It does seem relevant to the original Subject: line ("Laptop choices"), though. Even more information about iwi0: I googled and found some information about iwi and Dell laptops, and after issuing the command # ifconfig iwi0 mode b I got an association and was able to use the card. Then I tried # ifconfig iwi0 mode g which caused a panic #9 0xc0648ff7 in panic (fmt=0xc087130c "mutex %s recursed at %s:%d") at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:539 #10 0xc064180b in _mtx_assert (m=0xc4d1cb6c, what=0xc1033000, file=0xc08726bd "/usr/src/sys/kern/kern_synch.c", line=0xbc) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_mutex.c:748 #11 0xc064ee6a in msleep (ident=0xc4d1c000, mtx=0xc4d1cb6c, priority=0x0, wmesg=0xc0aadbd3 "iwiinit", timo=0x3e8) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_synch.c:188 Unfortunately, the stack beyond this point was corrupt. Since then I haven't been able to reproduce getting the card to associate or (obviously) the panic. So I'd agree that iwi is still a bit flaky.
