      I have been using 1.2 for a while now and decided to try out the beta.  With 1.2 everything works perfect, but with 1.2.1 my Xircom pcmcia no longer works, I get this when freebsd7 attempts to start it at bootup:

      : dc0: No station address in CIS!
      : device_attach: dc0 attach returned 6
      then the system restarts.

      I did a bit of searching around and there looks to be a fix

      http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=115623

      Is this something that can be fixed?

      Thanks

            At first glance when booting from LiveCD created from ISO 20081002-0148.iso.gz I am having the same issue.  I will wait for the next snapshot and try that out, maybe I jumped the gun.  Thanks for your work on this.

              That's from almost 24 hours prior to this commit, you'll have to wait until the 20081003 snapshot.

                Thanks for the info, I was unaware on how the snapshot release cycle worked.
