Still experiencing wifi hard hangs in current using the bwfm driver (latest tested with the 2020.8.6 image from armbsd.org) - only happens when running firefox (79, 78, 77, 76 and 52). Usually happens within 20 seconds ~ 1 minute when streaming video or around 3~5 minutes with regular browsing. Keyboard gets completely unresponsive forcing me to do a physical reboot. However, has never experienced a wifi crash in TTY when I'm downloading large files like pkgsrc for example. Downloading large files in X also seems fine.

i've seen this keyboard hang.  i've very recently started trying to figure it out and hopefully will have an idea soon.  it's very annoying as it seems to affect all keyboard input as well as network IO, and i've not gotten any particular clues yet.

I also tried using a usb ethernet adapter - works a lot better but sometimes still hangs (~ 3 times / hour), doesn't hard hang though so just re-plugging it makes the wifi go back up. (adapter doesn't hang on the stock Manjaro image)

which wifi chipset?  i've bee using a urtwn(4) mostly.  i forget where the currently in-use one came from..

I used a ethernet adapter with the AX88179 chipset, but I have since switched to a urtwn wifi adapter which works flawlessy.
