It is fairly repeatable. I'd concede, it should be a router bug. But could
be that it was exposed by something wrong/different/unexpected from the
driver side. If somebody is willing to examine this angle I can provide
needed inputs.

Just curious though, any chance of any known adoption of code/strategy
from Linux, anything that wasn't so similar to Linux than is now for intel
wifi drivers in NetBSD?



I'll provide more inputs on FAT issue, as described, by tomorrow.
