Hi, After seeing that 3.8rc2 has been announced, I switched branches, build and installed the world and the kernel and rebooted.
And then I saw the system freezing. I tracked this down that whenever I run "ifconfig ath0 up" the systems stops working immediately. I set kern.alt_break_to_debugger and kern.break_to_debugger to 1, but the keyboard (attached via USB) is also dead. Only a hardware reset works. Release 3.6 worked just fine, also with this WLAN network adapter. Did someone else saw such freezes? Is there anything I can do to track this freeze down? The freeze also occurs if I load the ath kernel module via /boot/loader.conf. The /boot/loader.conf contains only one line that sets vfs.root.mountfrom. So nothing special here. Uname says, the kernel is v3.8.0rc2.1.g358af0-RELEASE (X86_64_GENERIC). This is a 64bit system. Unfortunately there is no dump available. Sven
