I have the same laptop, running -current.

I see the same symptoms.  I think I sent mail out to -current or -mobile
about this a while back.  (Can't find it from searching the archives...)

I see from the dmesg that you aren't using the onboard Broadcom 10/100 chip
(bfe driver) or the onboard wirless (mine has a TrueMobile 1300, which is a
Broadcom b/g chip).  (Bill Paul's ndis code in -current allows you to use
the Windows driver to talk to it.)

I think you'll find that if you do, you'll get a panic when you try to
insert the wireless card.  (Or, if you have the wireless card inserted,
you'll get a panic when you try to load the driver for the ethernet or
wirless chip.)
