Shutdown my OpenBSD laptop with the power button and now nothing works

[d31n1]

I turned off my OpenBSD laptop with the power button and now nothing works.

First issue was with startx. I do startx, but it takes forever. I can get into it quicker if I do CTRL+C two-three times. Had this issue before, both on bsd and Linux, and the solution was to delete .Xauthority file. Did that, but still same problem. Not that big of a deal. I can live with that, but the other issues not so much.

Next issue is firefox taking long time to load. Used to be maximum 5 seconds, now it takes at least 15 seconds to load.

The third and most crucial issue; I no longer have working wifi. It worked perfectly fine before. I have done sh /etc/netstart many times, but still no wifi. I am connected to the router, just no internet. Wifi works on my phone so it must be a OpenBSD related issue.
My /etc/hostname.iwn0:

join "SSID" wpakey "passphrase"
mode 11a
inet6 autoconf
up powersave

Only way of getting internet is by sharing internet from my phone by usb

Everything was working fine until my lazy ass decided to tuen my laptop off with the powerbutton instead of shutdown command.

What can I do? Thanks

Not a lot of information here to help you with. I can see some WiFi provisioning which you may want to review. It appears you have not provisioned IPv4, and your connection to your AP is via 5GHz (802.11a) only. I will guess your FF delays are caused by your lack of network connection. Please post the contents of $ ifconfig, as it may show something of value.

One unique aspect of OpenBSD is that it re-links the kernel on startup. On my system, the hard drive led is solidly active for 15 seconds; long enough for me to log in, start a terminal and be informed that I cannot "syspatch" the system while kernel re-linking is occuring.

Firefox, on the first run after a login, has to "unveil" and "pledge" for the resources for the user. This takes some time and you should notice that it starts faster once the resources have been allocated on the same login.

Lastly, on the iwn, you've selected mode 11a with a link rate of 1 - 11mpbs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11a-1999

The iwn is capable of 11ac, 6.5–6933 mbps link rate. You may have reasons for it, but you're forcing slow internet which also may have something to do with Firefox's slow start.

Lastly, some HP laptops need to actively turn off airplane mode and it has some quirks in OpenBSD. It may also be stuck in hibernation - may be worthwhile to try removing the power save stanza.

I have to use mode 11a in my /etc/hostname.iwn0 for my connection to stay active. It has always worked. Here is my ifconfig:

I get "iwn0: fatal firmware error" when trying to connect in tty/console. Tried deleting iwn firmware and re-install, but still no wifi.

Firmware failures tend to indicate a hardware problem. You might try re-seating the card.
