1 month ago, I got BCM5179 and BCM5720 cards. The latest bge driver
still has some problems with those cards.

If you got this message, please reboot :-|
The watchdog reset doesn't solve the problem...
After rebooted, it will works... :-|

I suspect some problem exist in bge_attach(), bge_reset()
or bge_init().

 Could you test with the latest -current?
