IWI lockup

Hi, folks -

I seem to be having new problems with iwi since my last few cvsup's of
-STABLE and portupgrade.

Symptom is that it locks up (hard; hit the Big Red Button) after doing
detect of my network connection (which fails because it is not
connected). This lockup happens 75% of the time, and when it does
succeed to full boot, I get:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD localhost 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #3: Fri Nov  3
23:49:12 CST 2006     din at localhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LYNX  i386

and in dmesg:

This is on a Dell Inspiron 6000 with Centrino 2200G chip. I'm using
the iwi-firmware-kmod variant. This was working before; I have not
seen this 'iwi0: iwi_cmd: cmd 6 not sent, busy' before. UPDATING says
nothing about changes since 4/18/2006.

Any suggestions? TIA!

Don
