Forwarding to mailing list to keep it in the loop.

It looks like others have run into this issue, and there is an associated
bug report: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=171121

That link contains an explanation of why my suggestion did not help, and a
suggestion to check the firmware of the controllers.. It also looks like
there's a later version of the bge driver by Pyun YongHyeon that didn't
make it into 9.1-RELEASE that might resolve your issue, were you to compile
it yourself.

JB
