Same here. If I could do a proper test and debugging on this for furthering the research to fix this, I would gladly do so. ifconfig ral0 debug seems to give no useful information at time of crash. All I see are handshakes, auths, and deauths. I would really love to know what is making it lock up solid. I can't even send a BREAK on the serial console to get into ddb when it locks up solid. All I can do is use my trust paperclip to reset the machine. I have used rtorrent as a test on the Soekris itself, and it works fine using the vr(4) driver. If I ifconfig ral0 down, or even disable ral after boot -c, the box is quite reliable and will stay up just fine with high amounts of traffic. It definitely seems to be ral(4) and the way that driver interacts with OpenBSD and everything else. Tom
