Not the same, but similar: just setting address and netmask with

ifconfig wi0 inet 10.7.177.224 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.7.177.255

gives: (handcopied from the display of my notebook...)

kernel: page fault trap, code 0

Hope the bt output is of some help... I can provide kernel w/ debug symbols if needed.
