freebsd stable - Jul 2007 - Netgear PCMCIA NIC

Hey guys,

Having a problem on a laptop I've recently migrated from 6.1-RELEASE to 
6.2-STABLE.

My PCMCIA NIC (Netgear GA511) no longer works, and after looking around a bit, 
I'm afraid its got me stumped.

Getting the following from dmesg upon insertion:

----
re0: <RealTek 8169SB/8110SB Single-chip Gigabit Ethernet> port
0x1100-0x11ff
mem 0x88000000-0x880001ff irq 9 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
miibus0: <MII bus> on re0
rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S media interface> on miibus0
rgephy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 
1000baseT-FDX, auto
re0: Ethernet address: 00:18:4d:6e:be:23
re0: couldn't set up irq
rgephy0: detached
miibus0: detached
device_attach: re0 attach returned 22
----

Anyone able to clue me in?

Cheers,

Tim

The current re(4) uses an INTR_FAST type interrupt handler, which
pccbb(4) doesn't allow to be set up for more or less historical
reasons. Use the patch in (IMO an adequate fix):
