Possibly something like: wi0: tx buffer allocation failed (Interrupt problem?) ...might be appropriate? I'm assuming that this message comes from the wi driver itself - if so, I think that the extra bytes sucked up in the kernel could help eliminate questions like this... The error message itself as it is really doesn't say "wrong interrupt, dummy!" Actually, it makes me think of a memory-related problem. Of course, my opinion is that IRQs 2-4, 9, and 14 shouldn't even be offered in the first place... (I didn't check that they are, BTW - but just in case...) If someone has a machine with no serial ports, let them put 3 & 4 back in pccard.conf if they want to... --mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
