Yesterday I had to update the IPv6 configuration of my router. This required the router going off-line for about 30 seconds. (Why? ASUS doesn't say.) My laptop quickly failed over to my neighbor's network. OK. That should be fine, but it does not flip back to my network when the router came back on-line. Not a surprise, so I did a "service netif restart wlan0" to flip it back and the driver failed. After several failed efforts to restore service, I rebooted my system and everything went back to normal. I did not try unloading and loading the driver as that often does not go well and I needed to get back on-line quickly. I have opened https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263707 with the full log. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
