<![CDATA[Kernel: ipw_bss: You need to read the LICENSE file in /usr/share/doc/legal/intel]]>I do not recall seeing this in the system logs before.  I just did a clean install to the latest x86 snapshot built on Fri Aug 26 18:54:18 EDT 2011.

I did enable "Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading" and "Hardware Large Receive Offloading" as I am using an Intel nic.  Not sure if this is related.

I have also had the system lock up twice with Kernel Trap 12.

loader.conf will be overwritten after every update - loader.conf.local will not.

put this in it:

legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1

You can ignore it if you don't use Intel WiFi NICs,

If I recall correctly, snapshot builds have been reporting this for months, if not years.
