Problem with re(4) reappeared in both 11.0-STABLE and HEAD, but OK to trim stable@ since changes/fixes would go to HEAD first.

No connection with static IPv4 address. 

Where do I get back trace information?

Problem was more severe with HEAD in that OS immediately crashed into debugger, while in 11.0-STABLE, only the connection failed but may have left memory unstable.

I can still connect on that computer with Hiro H50191 USB wireless adapter, driver rsu.
