I believe a patch for it was posted in the wee hours of yesterday morning, so if you CVSUP today that should fix the problem. I think you need to rebuild both the kernel and the driver, but I'm not clear on that. It was discussed on the -mobile list. The other solution is to "downgrade" your system to RELENG_4_3, which is how I solved the problem. - Bob > Anyone have any ideas?
