no longer lights up at all.
I just hacked the FreeBSD backend of wpa_supplicant enough to connect
my OpenBSD laptop to my university's wireless network (just Dynamic
WEP, not TKIP or CCMP). I also had to add an ugly hack to
dev/ic/rt2560.c to ignore ENETRESET when issuing a SIOCS80211NWKEY
ioctl(2) (see below).

It's possible. I used to trunk em(4) and iwi(4) without problems, but
I never set the nwid/nwkey before creating the trunk. (I've since
then both replaced the iwi(4) with a ra

On my OpenBSD 3.9 firewall, sis0 is connected to my internal network,

Explanations have already been given on how to redirect all of root's
mail to someone else, but in case you really want just the daily log

Kernel panics suck,
