But, are we really used to restart FreeBSD because of things like this?

I think this is more a hardware problem than software problem, like lost/shared interrupts. Maybe the IRQ is not properly masked when downing the network interface. --HPS ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Maybe the IRQ is not properly masked when downing the network interface. I did not think of vmstat at that moment of time. Top did not show me anything which was completely out. Do not worry too much. I hoped to give a hint here for a programmer who might has noticed something like this. I hope to do some testing soon.

Re: Erratic USB mouse behaviour when wireless is down and USB hard disk connected
Also, please check dmesg if you haven't. The firmware on the NIC may have crashed and you may be able to fix it by simply restarting the wlan interface.

I remember having lots of fun at $office with the mouse of colleague. It used channel 6 and the amount of traffic generating over wireless LAN had direct influence on the accuracy of his mouse activity ;) Anyways, if you have the chance to switch to another channel, give it a shot. -- Bernhard ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I have to check on this. As the channels of the network here are fixed, this only can happen when the network is down. As I said, I can test it next week.
