>Description:
I ifconfig'd wi0 down, then removed the card (a Lucent "gold"
802.11 card). Something wasn't happy:
Aug 9 18:51:06 pueblo /netbsd: stray interrupt 9
Aug 9 18:51:08 pueblo /netbsd: wi0 detached
Aug 9 18:51:16 pueblo dhcpd: receive_packet failed on wi0: Input/output error
Aug 9 18:51:35 pueblo /netbsd: wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0
Aug 9 18:51:35 pueblo /netbsd: port 0x400-0x43f
Aug 9 18:51:36 pueblo /netbsd: wi0: address 00:60:1d:22:5a:86
Aug 9 18:51:38 pueblo /netbsd: pcmcia0: card irq 9
Aug 9 18:51:47 pueblo last message repeated 17795 times
Aug 9 18:52:21 pueblo /netbsd: stray interrupt 9
Aug 9 18:52:24 pueblo /netbsd: pcmcia0: card irq 9
Aug 9 18:52:31 pueblo last message repeated 25536 times
I'm not concerned about the dhcpd messages, but seeing 42K
notices about the irq of a card that isn't plugged in...
Reinserting the card and ifconfiging the card up didn't
help.
I don't know if the card was functional at that point; I had
thought not, but I later discovered other causes for that
problem. I can reinvestigate if necessary.
