hello -
i've been using a soekris net5501 as a home gateway since early 2008,
starting w/openbsd 4.2 and upgrading through 5.4. for most of that time
it's also been serving as a wireless access point. the wireless card is
a SparkLAN WMIR-168AG WLAN 802.11a/b/g Mini PCI Module with the Ralink
RT2561T chipset (ral driver; dmesg.boot attached). the system has been
working reliably for years.
however, the box started to hang within days of upgrading to 5.4. it
stays responsive for a variable length of time after reboot, ranging
from minutes to a week or more (but not much more). and unfortunately,
it hangs w/o writing anything to syslog or serial console. i enabled
ddb.console in sysctl.conf but found it to be completely unresponsive
when hung (i successfully tested sending a break in normal operation).
i've merged the patches from the 5.4 release errata & patch list and
rebuilt the os to no effect. there was some correlation between the
hangs and increased wireless usage; i tried disabling pf and squid but
the hangs continued. eventually i ran `ifconfig ral0 down` and hooked
the laptops up to a switch. rock-solid for weeks. brought ral0 back up
and within days of usage the box hung again. i see at least one person
w/similar symptoms from 2011[1] but nothing more recent.
if my searches have missed any relevant documentation, threads, bug
reports, etc. please let me know. otherwise, any suggestions on how to
resolve / troubleshoot / workaround or how to gather add'l information
for a bug report if necessary?
tia...
