Whether I'm using firmware version 3.1 with OpenBSD 4.5 (or 2.14.1.5
with OpenBSD 4.3 and 4.4), I get the firmware errors when I'm connected
to the wireless access points at my university.  But with the access
points that I've tried at home and at airports, wpi appears to work
fine.

For me, the errors appear to be specific to certain access points, but
independent of the firmware version.

I've been experiencing the same problem for about a year--ever since my
university installed new access points.  The old access points worked
fine with wpi, but the new access points cause frequent firmware errors.
Some days I just give up on wireless and connect an ethernet cable...



wpi and firmware error

Hello,

>From time to time my network card stop working and a error message appears:

wpi0: fatal firmware error
firmware error log (count=1):
  error type = "SYSASSERT" (0x0005)

The network start working again when I call dhclient. Since I could
have my network back again pretty quickly is not a critical issue.
However, having the problem is annoying.

I am using wpi-firmware-3.2.tgz

Does any one else have this problem?

Best,
