I am experiencing fairly consistent system freezes which seem to coincide with using the ndis driver and nvidia driver at the same time. I had worst problems using the nvidia binary driver, but I did also experience a freeze one time with the xorg nv driver, which I am now using. Sometimes the wireless card works extremely slowly when I am using the nvidia driver. I have a Dell Latitude D800. I enclose dmesg. Any advice on how to either further diagnose, or fix the problem will be welcome. Copyright (c) 1992-2007 The FreeBSD Project.
