OK, I think I have figured out what is wrong, please correct me if I am wrong
however I think something like this happens on init:

static void iwn_init(void *arg)
...
wlan_serialize_enter();
iwn_init_locked(sc); -----> static void iwn_init_locked(struct iwn_softc *sc)
...
/* Read firmware images from the filesystem. */
error = iwn_read_firmware(sc); -----> static int iwn_read_firmware(struct
iwn_softc *sc)
...
/*
* Read firmware image from filesystem. The firmware can block
* in a taskq and deadlock against our serializer so unlock
* while we do tihs.
*/
wlan_assert_serialized(); <------- *KABOOM?*
wlan_serialize_exit();

OK, According to swildner this happened due to my misconig where rc.conf *should
have* looked like this:

---------
wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"

Instead of
------------
ifconfig_iwn0="DHCP"

However such misconfigurations should not panic the kernel.
Also according to swildner this happens to ndis(4) so this is likely a issue in
the actual wifi stack.

Edward,

Did you upload the core to leaf? I don't see a backtrace either.

Cheers,
