Hi!

So I'm only partially successful repeating your test so far, but I can cause a
kernel panic! The following are my observations:

1) Before the kernel loads, loader give the following errors:

can't find 'if_run'
can't find 'wlan_mac'

2) It seems the run0 usb wi-fi interface only comes up after the bridge0 is
already enabled. dmesg does NOT capture the output from the failed attempt to
add the non-existent wlan0 interface. However, I grabbed it from the boot
output in the serial console:

#From dmesg:

*Something else to note about this setup output is that wlan0 did NOT get the
ssid or the security setup from /etc/hostapd.conf

After boot I manually add the wlan0 to the bridge and then set the ssid

root at bbb:~ # ifconfig bridge0 addm wlan0
root at bbb:~ # ifconfig wlan0 ssid freebsd

I brought the interface down and back up again which made the AP is available
to the clients. I open the ipod and get the system to associate with the ap and
enter the following information

static IP

address: 192.168.2.102
subnet: 255.255.255.0
router: 192.168.2.1
dns : 192.168.1

After numerous wrong attempts at configuring the client, I managed to get
exactly ONE request through. The freebsd.org page came up. I then tried to
search for the ookla page and my bbb kernel paniced! (yay!)

The next time I booted the entire board hung right after the usb wifi adapter
loaded (chop of hung board output, full output here

bad magic


I can cause the entire OS to hang it seems. Sometimes it boots, sometimes it
hangs. The lights on the cpsw0 interface still blink but the serial console is
dead. I'm trying to *avoid* triggering that so I don't know the sequence that's
causing it. However, I can cause the kernel to panic relatively quickly after a
handful of pages. No more than three full page requests so far.  It seems there
is a bad memory happening in bridge_broadcast() at bridge_broadcast+0x1c4?

Anyway, that's all the time I have for this weekend.
