I am aware only of issues with USB adapters being removed while 
wpa_supplicant is running.  This is a race in the usb code that I have 
worked around in the forthcoming vap code (not sure if the technique I 
used can be ported to RELENG_7).  Regardless, for any issue to be 
pursued the usual info is required; the device identity, a stack trace, 
and if possible, debug msgs from the kernel prior to a problem 
(wlandebug enables net80211 msgs and every driver has a debug msg knob 
that may or may not require building a kernel w/ msgs enabled).

iwi has most recently been tended by Andrew Thompson who is traveling so 
may not follow up for a bit (if sufficient info is provided).
