I updated from -HEAD and rebuilt the driver. It looks good! No errors! I never had powerd enabled. I won't even try until you say it's ready. What was the problem? Do you still need me to open a bug report? Thanks!

The driver loads fine but whenever I bring up an interface, I get "Hardware error, resetting" messages on the screen over and over again, roughly one a second. One user, Claude, reports he upgraded to -STABLE to no avail.
