Hi Sam,

Apparently the ipw stuff has very severe problems (read is useless) on 
my machine - it worked perfect before the p4 merge and now it cannot 
associate to my unencrypted 802.11b network. I have all the required 
modules loaded and I can do an "InstaPanic" by doing ifconfig ipw0 scan 
or ifconfig ipw0 chanlist 1-11.
The latter example I'm not sure is a valid option but it should 
definately not result in a instant panic().
I tried a backtrace on my kernel dump but it seemed messed up and useless.

If you have any patches I can test them out if needed.

I'm running -current from following time : Thu Jun 20

Best regards,
Nicolai Petri
