I am not sure about the second issue and I don't think that is Clearview 
related. But I 
have some thoughts on the first issue.

In softmac_hold_device(), we first tried to hold the rtls0 device and it 
succeeded:

         if ((dip = ddi_hold_devi_by_instance(getmajor(dev), ppa, 0)) == NULL)
                 return (ENOENT);

That is why it is spinning to find the rtls0 in softmac_hash. Based on my read 
of the 
problem, there is only one rtls device instance, which was "rtls1" and after 
reboot it 
changed to "rtls0". If so, it is strange to see "rtls1" but no "rtls0" in the 
softmac_hash. There is something wrong there.

May I have the access to the system so that I can take a look what goes wrong?

Thanks
