Cardbus cards break bge0

I recently cvsup'ed (last week anyway), and build/installed world/kernel 
etc.  Now,  when I connect a cardbus card
(firewire cards, ethernet, wireless, etc), my broadcom bge0 interface 
goes crazy, stops functioning, and I get this:

Nov 19 10:18:32 neutrino kernel: cardbus0: Resource not specified in 
CIS: id=10, size=10000
Nov 19 10:18:32 neutrino kernel: bge1: <Broadcom BCM5702 Gigabit 
Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x1002> mem 0xf6010000-0xf601ffff irq 11 at device 
0.0 on cardbus0
Nov 19 10:18:32 neutrino kernel: bge1: RX CPU self-diagnostics failed!
Nov 19 10:18:32 neutrino kernel: bge1: chip initialization failed
Nov 19 10:18:32 neutrino kernel: device_probe_and_attach: bge1 attach 
returned 6
Nov 19 10:18:32 neutrino kernel: cbb0: CardBus card activation failed
Nov 19 10:18:32 neutrino kernel: bge0: PHY read timed out
Nov 19 10:18:48 neutrino last message repeated 85 times

My gigabit ethernet (the broadcom) card device (which is onboard - this 
is a laptop) is bge0.  Notice above it complains about bge1, then the
"PHY read timed out" errors start.  If I boot with the card installed, 
here's what I get:

Nov 19 10:23:35 neutrino kernel: bge0: PHY read timed out
Nov 19 10:23:35 neutrino last message repeated 9 times
Nov 19 10:23:35 neutrino kernel: bge0: RX CPU self-diagnostics failed!
Nov 19 10:23:35 neutrino kernel: bge0: flow-through queue init failed
Nov 19 10:23:35 neutrino kernel: bge0: initialization failure

Anyone have any ideas on what caused this breakage?
