   Hmm, I have the same problem here: "wi0: watchdog timeout" on my
   Toshiba laptop under -CURRENT (kernel from today, I'm syncing the
   world right now). This is an embedded card on a Tecra 8200:

   wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 7 slot 0 on pccard0
   wi0: 802.11 address: 00:02:2d:13:0a:00
   wi0: using Lucent Embedded WaveLAN/IEEE
   wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station 6.14.01

   (FYI, the ppc device in disabled in the bios, and I tried every IRQ
   available)
   
   The card is tagged as associated with its access point, though I
   can't use it. 

   I think I tried all that I can think about (IRQs, hw.pcic.intr_path,
   and so on) without success. Anyway, I never had this card working
   under -CURRENT (from DP1 to now). *
   
   Warner, do you want more information ? I would be very happy to have
   my card working for the next BlackHat / Defcon :)
