No reason to worry. These are harmless debug messages from the iwm firmware update diff I mailed out. See http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=146356530605833&w=2 This will be fixed in the next iteration of the diff. > There also appears to be negative performance impact, but this > *could* be due to unrelated issues (noisy environment) I'm aware of this problem and looking at it. AFAIK this affects 11n mode only. Can you confirm that? You can force 11g (2 GHz) or 11a (5GHz) modes by running either: ifconfig iwm0 mode 11g or: ifconfig iwm0 mode 11a To go back to 11n mode, use: ifconfig iwm0 -mode
