Folks,
Weird panic occurs to me here with iwi(4) based laptop when trying to hook
up to WPA-protected network with "service netif restart". Kernel and
userland are not strictly in sync, with the latter lagging behind couple
of months, but presumably this fact should not matter on stable branch.
I was only able to get online by manually running wpa_supplicant(8) and
dhclient(8). if_iwi(4) loaded after system fully boots (i.e. manually after
login).
