No, this is a pci card, an Edimax EW-7728IN, it's listed in ral(4). > Totally can't confirm the 2 hour time frame with the need for reboot.

I wasn't having connection problems before, other than described in PR 5958, where ral just stops transmitting. If that's also the issue you're having (which is different from the hangs I'm having with -current), then I don't think it's an antenna problem. I have 3 10dBi omni antennas on this ral. Did you try -current? Could you please grab a snapshot, disable the watchdog and see if your box also hangs after a few hours, since we have pretty much identical hardware?

I'm pretty sure the PSU is ok, it worked fine for 4.4 and it's an official Soekris one (well.. sort of.. I haggled it off of Wim, no idea where he got it :) Thanks for your reply. bbee
