Find wireless network works slow and switch to Ethernet,.if try /etc/rc.d/netif restart, it may throw some errors and stop working. all these are fixed by reboot system(reload iwn and iwnfw dose not work at most time). i also find iwn driver printe a lot of microcode error related messages when it failed(not easy to reproduce it). No official Change Log, i just notice the *description *in gentoo bug#202818. Thanks, KevinReceived on Fri Jul 10 2009 - 16:15:25 UTC
