 bwi0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 Broadcom BCM4306 rev 0x02: irq 10Data
 modified on freelist: word 0 of object 0xd0e68c00 size 0x28 previous type
 free (0x0 != 0xefffeecc), address 00:1a:70:b2:6f:07


Just retried with the Feb 29 snapshot, first boot still dies.  But if I
disable bwi, then it works.  I hate this wireless crap.  Gah.

I had a similar problem with an older but similar Broadcom card because
it was sharing an interrupt with something else (this was about 6mo
back, using 4.0). If you'd like, I can try to dig up my notes on what I
did to fix it.

OK, now that my Linksys WMP54G turns out to be this fscking piece of crap,
instead of ral, does anyone have any advice on a _current_ PCI based
802.11a/b/g
card that can work as an AP?  My preferred vendor is newegg, but I'll go to
staples or worstbuy too.  Pretty please? :)

If it's no trouble, that would be great.  I would much prefer not to have to
buy another card...

Thanx in advance!

It was a machine that had 2 bcm4307s, but I'm questioning my own notes
here as it seems unlikely that a wireless only card (thats what they
were) would be using a 4307 as that one apparently also includes LAN
features. The cards were just two 'flea market specials'. I had to
resort to physically moving the cards around in the machine to avoid
using the same int line ( I think this was an early P3 box iirc, like
yours ).

I'm not 100% certain that the chip number is right, but they were
definitely broadcom 43xx.

Looking back, it's possible that the cards were interfering with one
another and perhaps separating them in the machine also helped. However,
I explicitly noted that the irq changed when the cards were moved.

Hope that helps.
