No, it's something in the ath driver and ath_hal code. I'm sorry, I've been busy debugging other things in my limited spare time; I just haven't had the chance to sit down and look at the rfkill code. :( -a ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list

Do you mean to check dmesg -a while doing vmstat -ia | grep ath0? I did run wlandebug +scan, then ifconfig wlan0 up scan and then vmstat -ia | grep ath0. The only output I got from vmstat -ia | grep ath0 is: irq18: ath021 0 The second time I ran that last command I got irq18: ath0
