 I have noticed that the frequency of the ral(4) lock-ups reported in
 kern/36148 varies a great deal depending on where I'm using the laptop
 with the ral wireless adapter.  When I'm at home, they happen only 1-2
 times a week as originally reported, but at my office or a customer
 site, they happen several times a day.  I'm not sure if the difference
 is caused by differences in the type of access point, the amount of
 traffic on the network, the number of other networks sharing the
 airwaves at the site, or some other environmental factor, but the
 difference is significant.
 
 This also means the problem is easier for me to reproduce than I
 previously thought, in case someone has any ideas how to debug it.
