Right, now that's out the way, I've a PCI combined switch/ NIC based on the Winbond chipset which panics FreeBSD 4-stable on boot. Having looked at the code in an attempt to figure this out for myself, I found that the problem was due to the mii_phy_probe() failing, thus in turn causing the panic in the line free(sc->wb_ldata_ptr, M_DEVBUF). As far as I could see wb_ldata_ptr has not been allocated nor is used anywhere. I would very much apreciate any help in getting this driver to work with the card, but my understanding of either the card or driver is somewhat limited, though I will do anything I can. Thanks in advance...
