dmesg: "this is a bug" [ath pccard... ok on 6.1 600mhz laptop, same card *no* dmesg at all on 6.2 hp laptop]

[Steve Franks]

I sent this out over the weekend to no replies.  Since dmesg
specifically states "this is a bug", I assume someone would want to
know about it.  I can reproduce the problem.

600mhz laptop, same card *no* dmesg at all on 6.2 hp laptop]
To: User Questions <freebsd-questions at freebsd.org>


update: several minutes after I pulled the ath0 out, I got a dmesg reading:

"cbb0: Danger Will Robinson: Resource left allocated!  This is a
bug... (rid=0, type=1, addr=11)"
"cbb0: Danger Will Robinson: Resource left allocated! This is a bug...
(rid=0, type=4, addr=a100)"
