Since I wasn't able to reproduce the panic, I can only confirm the patched run(4) driver runs OK. I just want to patch hostap related fix before calling for this test. I'll ask the user if it's fixed. Should the debugging code, usb_pause_mtx(), be left in the code for testing? If the drivers don't panic to begin with, we won't know the patch really fixed the issue.
