Funny thing: I've just tried 9-stable on this laptop of mine, and it
paniced immediately inside iwi_auth_and_assoc() again once I've run
wpa_supplicant (this time I did not do any of "netif restart" dances).

Applying the same patch fixed it for me and allowed to have working
network (typing through it right now).

Haven't tried -current yet, but it looks like iwi(4) is unusable at least
in 9.2.  Can we have this patch committed while real solution is being
worked on?  It looks like it's going to take a while, and I'd like to have
working iwi(4) like, uhm, now.  ;-)

Thanks Oliver.  If I followed the links correctly, that looks like
r255507 on stable/9.  The second part of that patch didn't apply cleanly
to 9.2.  I investigated and it looks like that is because r254442 had
also been applied since 9.2.  I'm guessing I should also apply r254442
as well (first)?  I shall proceed with applying both patches, rebuild,
and see what happens.

Cisco too, besides weird Star Wars ROM messages, you have stuff like the
"BFR" (Big F*cking Router, after Big F*cking Gun in Doom) screened on the PCB:

I coded it.

And thanks, you got me chuckling - nice to see some humor once in a

To the offended poster: read the last line of tunefs(8) - there's

many more places you could use serious time looking for deviations from

Sure, uhm, just remind me to commit it to -HEAD in the next few days. Then
I'll get it backported to stable/9.
