I really do hate my wireless network device. It really causes so many problems but at least it gives me a free net connection and sometimes a good connection.

Lately it has been giving me kernel panics on network scanning though and is really annoying me. Especially how I lose my uptime.

If you start many services at boot, edit your /etc/conf.d/rc so that you have a line reading RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes"

Do you only half-remember a commandline command you recently used? If you use bash (most likely you do), you don't need to look it up again or reinvent it. Just type control-r and then the part you do remember. Bash will search it's history for commands of which what you typed is a substring.

ctrl-r fied

and the result is:

(reverse-i-search)`fied': firefox http://www.nuxified.org
