Update: apparently, this morning (here in Europe!) the patch crashed the 
system. It seems to create some instability in the link: the IP level 
fails, while the level 2 is still connected… As a result, the LED of my 
PCMCIA card still blink normally, while I can't ping my access point.

I'd be glad to find out a debugging tool such as 80211debug. I am 
unaware of its presence on the NetBSD tree, so I assume it hasn't been 
ported yet.

The disconnection symptom seemed to have ceased before summer. It 
reappeared after some update in the HAL and glue code.

But, which, for some reason, seems to "garble" the link, so to speak.
