 i've recently been using urtwn(4) as well (as you can see from my
 1.30 revision to if_urtwn.c :-).
 
 i've not see anything that suggested corrupted memory, though it
 does seem possible.  i have seen it lock up twice, unable to talk
 to the network at all, requiring being unplugged and reinserted
 to work again.
 
 so there is certainly something problematic, if not multiple things.
 
 in dmesg:
 
 urtwn0: link state UP (was UNKNOWN)
 urtwn0: link state DOWN (was UP)
 urtwn0: link state UP (was DOWN)
 
 and
 
 urtwn0: could not load firmware page 3
 
 and
 
 urtwn0: timeout waiting for MAC auto ON
 
 and
 
 urtwn0: device timeout
 
 none of which seem to say much useful.
