is this from core.txt?  What's the panic message?

Also what's /usr/src/sys/compat/linuxkpi/common/src/linux_80211.c:2364
for you (a few lines before/after maybe as well)?

Also if you have a core.txt, can you check the kernel message buffer if
there was a firmware crash before this and the panic is a secondary
issue?

I noticed that I have a 9xxx in a laptop I am currently using to test
suspend/resume with.  I'll give it a bit of pushing over the next
nights and see.
