(now it doesn't hard-hang, i will look at porting the driver parts to netbsd-9.)
we do not yet know why this is better -- lots of changes maybe relevant.
the wifi can still fail, but the system remains responsive and available and often can recover by itself, or with "ifconfig bwfm0 down up". sometimes neither works and reboot is required.
