 I'm seeing this same problem now that I installed FreeBSD 8.2 on my =
 laptop.  Sometimes it will lock up even from just doing "ifconfig -a".  =
 I can get it to come back if I do "ifconfig ep0 up" a few times after =
 waiting a while.  I'm guessing it has to do with the "ep0: WARNING: =
 using obsoleted if_watchdog interface" upon startup.
