      I am running the latest snapshot, but have seen this on many of the previous snapshots.  My Kindle 3 causes pfsense to reboot after connecting to the WiFi.  I am using the run driver for a USB dongle.  I am able to connect using other devices, such as my laptop, without issue.

        I apologize for the second post, I hit "Post" too early.  I wanted to ask what is the best way to capture what is going on so that I can hopefully help resolve the issue.

          there is an edit button…
          install the developers kernal, that way pfsense will halt with the error messages on the screen instead of rebooting.

            It's probably a driver bug with run(4) and your chipset.

            You can install the developer kernel as XIII says by following the directions here:
            http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Switching_Kernels

            Make sure you have a console attached (video/keyboard or serial, serial is best for debugging) and when it panics, get a capture of the output. Then type "bt" at the debugger prompt to get a backtrace, and capture that output as well.

              Thank you for the instructions, and I appreciate you following up on this.  For reference, I am running the following snapshot:
