I sent this message, without this top part, over an hour ago, and notice wlan0 is still up. I intended but forgot to CC to freebsd-current. But I am in newcons, having not started X so far this boot session. Maybe something rotten with Xorg, or interaction between rsu and X, or rsu and Firefox.
I am afraid to try again with X, don't want to mess the file system to the extent of losing data.
WLAN device is Hiro H50191 USB wireless adapter, chipset RTL8191SU.
I just updated FreeBSD-current, both amd64 and i386, now both rsu and Xorg are highly unstable, at least on amd64.

(snip)
This is a change for the worse. Now I can connect with Hiro H50191; bug in re Ethernet driver persists, so I can't connect that way.
I also had several crashes in Xorg, so am typing this with vi in newcons.
