Not enough, the ICH6 controler appeared fine also before the patch, but
all the devices that causes problems are on that controler.

Did you add any hints to your loader.conf or device.hints? Does the
order of loading modules matter? can I control it in loader.conf? (maybe
they are loaded in order as listed?).

Further, I have since posting the first post also noted that USB devices
are not detected correctly, a usb mouse only shows up as usm0 if
connected before boot, if disconnected and connected again or just
connected after boot the device is not registered, restarting usbd, devd
or devfs does not help. And I have had no luck using it.

As for the wireless, I have just seen a post on the same problem on the
mobile list, so it may not be related.

Thanks, Erik
