I see that WIFI bwfm driver works the same as bad as in 10.0_RC1. I

nearly "nothing", at 30 minutes interval cron runs a wget command to
download a little 2 byte file  from https://ipv4.cloudns.net/ just to
inform the DDNS system of my actual IP address. From time to time I
loose network and I cannot longer have ssh access. In order to
overcome that, I wrote a service that reboots the operating system
when network does not work (better than nothing). The service
registers in a file the uptime just before issuing the reboot command:

Earlier I experienced the same on a Raspberry PI 3 however not sure if it was as often as every 30mins.

Hi again.

I have tried to restart wpa_supplicant service but it does not resurrect network. "bwfm: could not set mpc" message goes out of the kernel.



I have transcribed manually the information on the TV screen:

netbsd-raspa# service wpa_supplicant restart
Stopping wpa_supplicant.
Jan 17 16:15:17 netbsd-raspa wpa_supplicant[293]: ioctl[SIOCS80211, op=20, val=0, arg_len=7]: Can't assign requested address
Starting wpa_supplicant.
netbsd-raspa#Jan 27 16:15:08 netbsd-raspa wpa_supplicant[1304]: ioctl[SIOCG80211, op=16, arg_len=0:Inappropiate ioctl for device.
[687.4366422] bwfm: could not set mpc

Thanks


Ramiro.
