Obviously, this is a bit vague as bug reports go, but I'm interested in
seeing if anyone has had real experience with this happening, and might
be interested in helping to track it down. If there are kernel crashes,
I'm specifically looking for information on what version of FreeBSD is
being used, a panic message / trap message, DDB stack trace, etc. I'm
assuming it's likely a networking related bug, which I'm happy to work on
fixing. If it's not network-related, I can certainly try to track someone
down who could work on it.

For what it's worth I had tor running on my 5.3 co-lo box for about 200
days without a problem (had to reboot for a kernel reboot after 400+ days
of uptime)

This is a useful report -- so far I've had about a half dozen reports of
absolutely no problems at all on various versions of FreeBSD, and no
reports of crashes. Maybe this is a false alarm, or maybe it was a bug in
a specific version of FreeBSD. Or maybe it just requires very special
circumstances. I'll continue to keep an eye out, and please let me know if
you run into a problem.

Hm, I have no problem in general as well. Up-time on my 4.6 machine
was more than 200 days (than we had the power shortage) and on my 6.0
machine more than 100 days and then the same power shortage problem
brought it down.

However, on my 6.0 I wanted to install recently the WLAN card using
ndis. The card I wanted to use was dlink (AIRPLUS driver). The
generation of the driver using ndisgen went through smoothly, but when
I wanted to load the kernel module, the machine simply hang. Any
suggestions/proposals would really nice to get.

Thanx and LPA (== (Lep pozdrav! Andrej)_{Slovene} == (Best Regards, Andrej)
