Same card works fine for me and several others.

Are you running GENERIC or is it your own?

Clearly the ifconfig in the startup script works fine, so
the issue is
why does the ifconfig you enter manually fail?

What state is the process in while it's hung? (top(1) or
CTRL-T will
provide this.) Can it be interrupted by a signal (CTRL-C),
kill, or 'kill
-9'?

There was really not much information in your message with
which to
guess what might be happening.

GENERIC.

Agreed.

sbwait.

Yes, it can be control c'd, no problem here.  ifconfig is
not frozen. It
just never comes back.

If I knew what to say, I would.
