I just tried a -current kernel on my laptop which always had issues with
its wireless network interface.
Before, it would randomly freeze after a while, if the ath0 interface
was included in the kernel.
Now (with a DRMKMS kernel actually, but that probably makes no
difference for this), there was no freeze (at least not within an hour
or so - which proves nothing). But instead of ath0 there was now athn0.
And when I tried an innocent "ifconfig athn0 up", it rebooted...
Some dmesg lines:
