NetBSD zionscamp9.org 6.0_RC2 Generic i386 
>Description:
I am using RC2 because when using it last fall, I downloaded all of two DVDs of software, but it started crashing when I was online.  I installed 6.0.1 and it crashed more.  I went back to 6.0_RC2 and I may make 5 minutes and it crashes again.  Windoze works okay.

The rtl8188cu was a $5 special out of Asia.  Maybe a rtl8188cu time flaw?  Anyone else have the same problem?  Could it be the way I get urtwn0 to work?
>How-To-Repeat:
Go online with rtl8188cu.
