After reading that someone had problems with 802.11i/WPA2, I tested my
iwi device, too. 802.11i (as client) works, but disconnects about every
five minutes briefly, which is nothing new -- I had the same issue with
6.2-RELEASE.
In contrast to 6.2-RELEASE, monitor does not work. Kismet does
not receive anything, while it does with ath or ural (even at the same
time). dmesg with debug.iwi=2 is below -- anything unusual?
Moreover, "ifconfig iwi0 scan" sometimes just hangs, which never
happened on 6.2-RELEASE. I currently cannot reproduce it, though.
Another behavior that changed is "iwi0: radio turned off" being always
displayed when something fails because of it -- and not as the switch is
turned off. "iwi0: radio turned on" is never displayed. I guess that is
expected. (I think I like the new behavior better.)
Something that really got better is that the device sometimes recovers
from firmware errors without me kldunloading if_iwi and I have yet to
see not enough dma memory for the firmware. (Firmware errors happened
regularly with 6.2-RELEASE. I did not test enough to say if that got any
better.)
BTW: Playing around with iwi, ath, and ural removing and plugging back
in the devices (not iwi), I had two crashes. I am not sure how to
investigate that, though. (It produced vmcores on reboot -- I guess I
have to read that chapter on kernel debugging in the handbook.)
