Raspberry Pi 3 and NetBSD 10.0_BETA - WiFi stops working after few hours and wonky USB keyboard

[Bartek Krawczyk <bbartlomiej.mail%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi,
is anybody using a Raspberry Pi 3 daily? I've been testing it with 
10.0_BETA (tried -current from a week back but didn't boot) and I'm 
experiencing intermittent problems with WiFi and USB keyboard.

I'm currently compiling packages from pkgsrc-current to test the future 
2023Q1 release and right now I'm at security/ca-certificates (btw. this 
one is a beast to build: llvm, rust, damn). The load during compile is 
around 1-1.5 and usually 1 or 2 cores are utilized (Rpi3 has 4 cores).

First problem I noticed is that USB keyboard is "wonky". It repeats my 
keystrokes a bunch of times until I hit a different key. It's barely 
usable. I thought it may be due to CPU utilization but it also happens 
right after a reboot. Console via SSH is of course OK. The keyboard 
itself of course is my daily driver on both Windows and Mac OS and is 
working fine. This is the only external device connected to the RPI3 and 
I do have a proper and powerful enough power adapter (JustPI, 5V and 3A).

Another problem is that after a while - hours, tens of hours the Pi 
stops responding over network, my router/ap (MikroTik) shows stuff like:

mar/25 20:32:50 caps,debug B8:27:EB:E4:30:C8@5GHz-ap-salon-1 connected, 
signal strength -59

mar/25 20:33:27 caps,debug B8:27:EB:E4:30:C8@5GHz-ap-salon-1 connected, 
signal strength -60

when I connect to the RPI3 with screen and keyboard I can barely see 
anything in logs, maybe:

(which is funny, 'cause wpa_supplicant show the rekeying was completed 
but my APs show it's a timeout and device gets disconnected)

or once:

Mar 25 16:21:39 rpi3 /netbsd: [ 136787.2070108] bwfm0: could not set power

and ifconfig shows that everything should be fine:

        inet 192.168.2.212/24 broadcast 192.168.2.255 flags 0

but of course it isn't. So far I'm running wpa_supplicant with -d and -f 
/var/log/wpa_supplicant.log however this is always empty. No additional 
debug information.
What helps is restarting wpa_supplicant.

Anybody has similar experience with RPI3 and WiFi or USB?
