I've already replied to Tom in private requesting some additional testing but I would still be interested in other reports about transmission speed issues with ral. I've also noticed that my ral-based AP can be ridiculously slow. I believe this is a separate bug which is independent of the OACTIVE lock-up problem. Is anyone else out there seeing this, too? IIRC dragonfly have some ral performance fixes in their git history which haven't been ported back to OpenBSD yet.
