 I don't know the iwn driver, or much about wireless networking in
 general, but I can say the first step is to compile a kernel with
 DIAGNOSTIC and DDB enabled in the config, and also add "options
 IWN_DEBUG". With IWN_DEBUG it may actually print something when the
 problem happens, which would obviously help a lot.
