On FreeBSD, I’ve had 13 occurrences of kernel panics under these circumstances as of the time I wrote this.

All occur when I run `sudo /etc/rc.d/netif restart`.
I am not sure what is entirely relevant, so I will list full system specs followed by the output of the kernel panic:

System specs:

• Sony Vaio Desktop
• Pentium 3 – 700 MHz
• 370 MB of SDRAM

Drives:

• one 60 GB IDE hard drive
• one IDE CD drive

PCI cards

• one linksys wireless card (unsure of exact model)
• one firewire card (provides 2 firewire ports)
• two NICs

The following is the output of the kernel panic, the last 2 lines appear when i hit the spacebar to abort the reboot:
