So we're still at square 1 with this issue. Can somebody please try to provide a recipe that triggers the problem reliably? Note that a device timeout implies the device has failed to send a frame. This could happen because: - there is some transmission problem with the device itself - some USB problem is preventing transmission - some USB problem is preventing notification of successfull transmission to the driver - the AP failed to ACK the frame, either because it did not receive it (out of range, interference, ...) or because the athn device could not receive the ACK from the AP Without more information it's difficult to say what's going on. If you're in a position to run tcpdump -y IEEE802_11_RADIO on the AP please watch for frames sent from the USB device and try to figure out where the frame is lost. Please also see http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=141501277608157w=2 which is about the same driver on PCI instead of USB. As long as running 'ifconfig athn0 down up' restores connectivity on USB I have more important issues to look at and won't spend more of my time trying to reproduce this problem unless more information is provided. So I said I am receiving less timeouts, thats true. But yesterday and today again something happened, that could not be solved by simply running 'ifconfig athn0 down up'. This is what I received (messages from dmesg). athn0: device timeout athn0: device timeout athn0: device timeout athn0: device timeout athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x18 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x3 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x18 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x18 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x18 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x18 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x18 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x18 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out The four first messages are normal, and can be solved by reseting connections. But a new type appeared, and these I couldn't solve running ifconfig. When I ran 'ifconfig athn0 down up' it didn't anything, and I wasn't able to close the process. Reboot was the only option. I ran this (don't know if it gives good information): # tcpdump -L tcpdump: WARNING: snaplen raised from 116 to 160 tcnk type supported: PFLOG # tcpdump -y PFLOG tcpdump: WARNING: snaplen raised from 116 to 160 tcpdump: listening on pflog0, link-type PFLOG pdump: WARNING: snaplen raised from 116 to 160 -- Regards Henrique Lengler

my experience with openbsdstore.com
Hello, the following describes my experience ordering CDs from the openbsdstore.com. As openbsdstore.com is apparently the only source for OpenBSD CDs these days, I ordered two sets of v5.6 a while ago (December 2014). The order The trouble began immediately. I chose electronic wire transfer as the payment method, but even though I had supplied my VAT-ID and indicated that I wished to avoid paying VAT, there total included VAT and there was no way to remove it. I figured it was simpler to order and ask to have the VAT transferred back. I ordered, and sent a corresponding request. The Ticketing System The store opened a ticket on my behalf (at least there *is* a ticketing system), and I began to receive emails from the ticketing system. They mostly look like this: /Person's name/ just logged a message to a ticket in which you participate. [content of message] /You're getting this email because you are a collaborator on ticket #229757 https://support.openbsdstore.com/view.php?auth=c1x2qaqaabxamaaa4o7EuU%2BmlBQAJA%3D%3D. To participate, simply reply to this email or click here https://support.openbsdstore.com/view.php?auth=c1x2qaqaabxamaaa4o7EuU%2BmlBQAJA%3D%3D for a complete archive of the ticket thread./ I cannot, however, participate by clicking on the link. The link is only for internal use. So the system can't differentiate between support staff and customers Bank Details I am requested to provide bank details. Fair enough. I provide my IBAN (int'l bank account number) and BIC/SWIFT (unique bank ID) details. These two items are sufficient to transfer money *anywhere* within the EU (In fact, the IBAN alone is sufficient, as it contains the bank code). This is made possible by SEPA. From wikipedia: The *Single Euro Payments Area* (*SEPA*) is a payment-integration initiative of the European Union http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union for simplification of bank transfers denominated in euro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro.

No, SEPA is more specific, it is for Euros. The UK is in SEPA but SEPA isn't used for transactions in Pounds Sterling. So it depends on the currency donomination of the receiving account as to whether it applies.
