#NetBSD folks: I'm having a pretty frustrating issue with the #wpi wireless driver (Dell Latitude D620) in which it works out of the box (even during install - amazing), yet after some "stress" put on it (installing a lot of packages, downloading large files...) it simply stops working.
Not even service network restart will put it back. Lights are still on, but no ping, no link, nothing. I have to reboot.
Nothing in dmesg either. what could I try?
