Hello,

Is anyone with a recent current having problems with wi0?  It keeps
dieing after a few minutes.  The logs show:

wi0: xmit failed
wi0: device timeout
wi0: init failed
wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC
wi0: tx buffer allocation failed
wi0: interface not running
wi0: device timeout
wi0: xmit failed
wi0: device timeout
wi0: init failed

G4 Ti with Apple's wi0.  Kernel options NEWPMAP and ws*.  Last time I
changed kernels was back in August so a lot of water has flowed through
since then :-/

Using ifconfig to take the device down then up fixes things for a short
time (mind you repeatedly doing this eventually confuses things like 
postfix :-/).
