Hi Giancarlo,
I have the same problem. On 4.5-release. My wifi card locks up and
often will lock up the machine if there
is heavy traffic (like a BitTorrent).
ral0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "Ralink RT2661" rev 0x00: irq 10,
address 00:14:85:xx:xx:xx
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2661D, RF RT2529 (MIMO XR)
I'm using Linux wireless clients that talk to the OpenBSD router and
as far as I can tell, they all have powersave
turned off.
Has this been addressed in -current at all I wonder?

The only difference is that my box never lock up. It remain working.
Only the wireless communication with the clients stop for some seconds,
and then get back working as nothing had happened. I saw this on the manual:
Some PCI ral adapters seem to strictly require a system supporting PCI
2.2 or greater and will likely not work in systems based on older revi
sions of the PCI specification. Check the board's PCI version before
purchasing the card.
So i went check to see if my pci card requires the 2.2 PCI revision or
not. It is an OvisLink EVO-W54PCI and it is listed on the man page as
one that should work. On the manual of the card there is nothing saying
what revision it need. But i came across a PDF file when searching the
net, and it says that the card need the 2.2 PCI revision. Mine is 2.1:
pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xf0000/0xd42
AFAIK, the card shouldn't even be detected, nor should it be working. I
can only guess if this isn't my problem. I was already planning on
replacing my firewall machine, guess i'll have to do it faster than planned.
My regards,
