problem with iwi driver in 8.0 and custom kernel (works on generic)

i've got some problems with iwi in Freebsd 8.0, using GENERIC kernel 
everything works just fine, compiling a custom kernel, just excluding 
some modules i don't need, cause an interrupt storm to happen on irq11:

Dec 22 22:35:18 legend kernel: iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 
0xb0101000-0xb0101fff irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci6

Dec 22 22:35:22 legend kernel: wlan0: Ethernet address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Dec 22 22:35:32 legend kernel: interrupt storm detected on "irq11:"; 
throttling interrupt source
Dec 22 22:35:33 legend kernel: iwi0: timeout waiting for iwi_bss 
firmware initialization to complete
Dec 22 22:35:33 legend kernel: iwi0: could not load boot firmware iwi_bss


maybe these other info from dmesg could be of some help to track down 
the problem:

i did read somewhere in the forums/mls that a patch was on STABLE to 
solve a interrupt storm related to PCI: could it be related to this?
is there a patch i can apply to get rid of this problem?

(i've tried to compile kernel with/without optimizations which you will 
find commented out in the configuration attached to the mail, obtaining 
always the same interrupt storm problem.)

thanks

regards

Before you recompiled, did the iwi0 device work?  Once booted, can you 
show the output of "vmstat -i"?  Also, can you post a verbose dmesg 
somewhere?

It might also be useful to re-add things back into the kernel, and figure 
out which device removal actually triggers this.
