Thank you for replying.
As you can see from the first line of my post, I'm running -release, and not
-current, and I don't plan to run -current since I'm very happy with an
upgrade twice a year for the moment.
Actually, since the link you provided was from end october, I tried
installing it but the nic does not come up at all.
On my machine I had previously installed iwn-firmware-5.1, now I have
iwn-firmware-5.1p0, but the situation is exactly as per my first post.
So, why does 'ping' hang there and does not give 'packet loss' error, as it
did until two days ago?
If this machine isn't production, then no harm could come from trying
a snapshot. It would give the developers a much better idea as to
where you system's at. Use a USB thumb drive if you're that worried
about trashing your data.
