sorry for being late. I was travelling myself until yesterday.

I updated my machine over the weekend to

FreeBSD X220.alogt.com 10.0-STABLE FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE #38 r267699: Sun
Jun 22 16:32:07 WITA 2014
er...@x220.alogt.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X220  amd64

I started it only a single time with IPV6 enabled and the machine
crashed again. It looked to me that it was the same location but I did
not verify it.

I run the machine since then with IPV4 only and did not have any
trouble. 

Maybe a word to the timezone. It seems that we are 12h apart. So, early
morning and early evening would be the best pairing for us. 

Erich


 THanks,

 these issues. I'm not running v6 at home; I can easily flip that on

You only need to turn it on and the machine crashes very often while
booting. I was also irritated as it originally crashed only when
connecting to TPLink access points. I have meanwhile the feeling that
it crashes even more often on other access points.

 Hello list,
 
 Is it better (for wireless) to follow 10-R, 10-STABLE or 11? The
 situation is an acer aspire v5 netbook. I'm running new xorg because
 it's an amd c70 with a radeon chipset. Thing is, it needs some kind of

I am on 10 since June/July 2012. It was HEAD then. I will stay with 10

You tried to compile a kernel using PB42 as a configuration file

Adrian Chadd adr...@freebsd.org wrote:

I came to a very strange result. I have iwn in the kernel since June
2012 using 10. I also have had run in the kernel of another machine
since February 2011. I could not even add runfw to the kernel those
days running some 8 stable. I kept it that way until now.

run was always working. iwn gave problems starting between August and
November of last year on my access point but still worked on other
places. I used iwn to connect successfully to another wireless network
mid November 2013.

After adding the firmware to the kernel for both iwn and run, I could
compile the kernel and iwn started to work. runfw did not break
compilation.

I wonder now if the iwn or run could even work without firmware or if
the firmware was automatically loaded even when iwn or run where
compiled into the kernel.
