Okay, that was probably the worst bug report I've written in a while.

The actual content:

biomask ef45 netmask ef45 ttymask ffc7
pcmcia0: CIS version PCMCIA 2.0 or 2.1
pcmcia0: CIS info: Linksys, Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC2T), 2.0
pcmcia0: Manufacturer code 0x149, product 0xc1ab
pcmcia0: function 0: network adapter, ccr addr fd0 mask b
pcmcia0: function 0, config table entry 0: I/O card; irq mask befc; iomask 5, iospace 0-1f; mwait_required io16 irqlevel
pcmcia0: function 0, config table entry 1: I/O card; irq mask befc; iomask a, iospace 300-31f; mwait_required io16 irqlevel
pcmcia0: function 0, config table entry 2: I/O card; irq mask befc; iomask a, iospace 320-33f; mwait_required io16 irqlevel
pcmcia0: function 0, config table entry 3: I/O card; irq mask befc; iomask a, iospace 340-35f; mwait_required io16 irqlevel
ne0 at pcmcia0 function 0
ne0: sum(0x0) should be 0xff

'ifconfig' does not describe an 'ne0'; any attempt to "ifconfig ne0 up" gets
"device not configured", same for "ifconfig ne0 1.2.3.4".

If you remove ne0, the system panics attempting a forced detach.  Savecore

Very informative.  ;-)
