Can you please compile a kernel with the DEBUG option in its config
and boot the resulting bsd.gdb image instead of the plain bsd image?
That way, your trace will have line numbers, which should help with
figuring out the issue.

Also note that bwi(4) has numerous other problems, such as random packet loss.
If you want to use wifi on macppc you're better off with a USB wifi dongle.
