Hi. This is on the latest NetBSD 10 daily build:
$ uname -a
NetBSD jan-wii-nbsd 10.1_STABLE NetBSD 10.1_STABLE (WII) #0: Sat May 10 18:12:19 UTC 2025 mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbppc/compile/WII evbppc
I have an issue that hasn't been reported yet.
After about 10 hours total of uptime and 8 hours idling without any interactive
use (I was sleeping), restarting the wpa_supplicant service caused my Wii to
lock up for about a minute. When the Wii becomes responsive again, these errors
occupy the entire 64KiB dmesg buffer:
http://paste.debian.net/plainh/7046dde4
I'm including the log as an attachment, it's only 437B compressed.
Afterwards, the wi-fi doesn't work again until reboot. It seems to keep trying
to connect indefinitely, ifconfig keeps alternating between these results:
$ ifconfig
bwi0: flags=0x8803<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ssid home-network nwkey *****
$ ifconfig
bwi0: flags=0x8803<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ssid "" nwkey *****
I also have this separate ssh issue that has already been reported (ssh -v log
shows ssh getting stuck in the exact same place):

And this workaround (clear all Wii connection settings) doesn't work:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-powerpc/2025/05/06/msg003681.html
This possible solution (hosts file to workaround broken reverse DNS) doesn't
work either:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-powerpc/2025/05/05/msg003680.html
I have an OpenWRT router with reverse DNS working, and I tried disabling UseDNS
in the Wii's sshd_config and restarting sshd after, nothing helped, I don't
believe this is the issue.
Ssh'ing from my desktop to other hosts in the network works, in fact ssh'ing to
the Wii through an USB wi-fi card's IP also works, only the internal wi-fi
card's IP doesn't work.
