Sorry, I meant 'reset' similar to pulling the power cord.

Sounds like a panic. You've been in X when the issue occurred I guess? Can you try and reproduce it while X is not running so you see what's actually going on?

Once it happened while fetching the sources with csup (but I couldn't reproduce it), later while building Xorg.

Code:
Nov 18 22:04:26 skarabrae kernel: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
Nov 18 22:04:26 skarabrae kernel: cpuid = 1; apic id = 01

Nov 18 22:04:26 skarabrae kernel: Rebooting...
Did some tests with heavy network load and rum0 device without any problems. Just to be sure ...

Later I saw this:

Ah! we're getting closer. Can you now do # wlandebug 0xffffffff before the crash, so I get a clue where in the code this does happen?

Well have a look at the uptime, it's almost the same time.

Yep.. 300secs, that is the interval bgscan takes place. Strange though, that does not happen one my test system.

As a workaround, add -bgscan to your ifconfig_wlan0 line in rc.conf. That disables background scan completely.

Maybe because I have some APs nearby (not the same channel)?

Doubt that, seems to be happening while driver switches channels. I'll try to reproduce that.

So the system is now 37 minutes up and running without any problems (-bgscan). Did some huge downloads and I hope it stays so ;-) Btw. thanks for this drivers.

Thank you for the updated driver, I can get connection using WPA2. But a few minutes ago I got a panic, the laptop rebooted suddenly. I will report if it happens again.

Try the solution mentioned above (-bgscan).

The laptop has no response after using about 20 minutes, trying -bgscan now.

FYI: bgscan issues have been addressed.

Cash does not happen when "Radio" is off.
When "Radio" is off on loading if_iwn the firmware is not loaded.
Can you verify that RF kill switch now works as its supposed to? You should be able to toggle the cards status.

So it's now safe to use bgscan again? Well, I'm not found of to many crashes at once ;-)
