System: NetBSD sinus 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (GENERIC) #9: Thu Jul 1 14:31:57 CEST 2004 ignatios@sinus:/usr/local/src/cur/oi/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:
	At boot time, the if_txp driver fails to load the firmware into
	our 3com 3CR990B-FX cards. 
	Additionally, it does this after establish()ing the interupt handler,
	and doesn't disestablish it when the attach() failure is detected.
	At interupt enable time, an uninitialized pointer is accessed,
	causing a kernel panic.
>How-To-Repeat:
	add:
	device txp* at pci?....
	recompile, reboot.
>Fix:
	Fix: unknown.
	Workaround: sys/dev/pci/if_txp.c 1.7 disestablish()es the interupt
	handler, thus avoiding the kernel panic. (While the cards stays 
	unusable).
