The results are the same as when it was tested with 8.0-stable. It still needs patching of the PCIe code to get network interfaces to work. I used a patch[3] made by Alexander Motin for a different machine, amd even if the seconfd hunk of the patch was rejected, the wireless interface (wpi0) works.

Please try adding 'options NEW_PCIB' to your kernel config on a recent 8- stable instead. You should not need Alexander's patch in this case. -- John Baldwin
