Small transfers such as remote shells or serving dokuwiki pages via nginx don't appear to cause problems, but using wget to download a large file or installing a large remote package via pkgin causes all networking to cease after a few seconds. Sometimes the speed declines, sometimes it it stops immediately.

Hello 

I also confirm that my Raspberry Pi Zero W has very bad bwfm driver behavior. It makes it unusable and it was very disappointing from the beginning. It was my first contact with NetBSD. I use now a wifi USB dongle  TP-LINK TL-WN723N v3 that uses urtwn driver that it is not perfect but works better. It occasionally looses the network. I made a little service that reboots the machine in order to be accessible.

Regards.
