I added printf() to 2 functions (one in intr_add_handler() and two
in intr_event_add_handler()) and re-build my kernel and reboot my
ThinkPad X40. But I could not get any printf's messages.

And I have a question. Why INTR_FAST was added in re_attach()?
When I deleted it and re-build if_re modules, my card was attached.
But I got another error messages and panic if interface is up.
(mutex re0 not owned at...)

Goto.
