Airport Extreme (bwi) interrupt storm

[Emmanuel Dreyfus <manu%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Hello

Still playing with NetBSD 9.2 on iBook G4. The Airport Extreme WiFi does
not work. 

I installed the firmware as explained in bwi(4). It loads, but 
ifconfig bwi0 up causes an interupt storm: systat vm reports aroudnd 
90000 interrupts on openpincirq 52. The system gets very slow until 
ifconfig bwi0 down is done.

Here is what dmesg says about it:

bwi0 at pci1 dev 18 function 0: Broadcom Wireless
bwi0: interrupting at irq 52
bwi0: BBP id 0x4306, BBP rev 0x3, BBP pkg 0
bwi0: MAC: rev 5
bwi0: PHY type 2, rev 2, ver 2
bwi0: RF manu 0x17f, type 0x2050, rev 2
bwi0: autoconfiguration error: invalid antenna gain in sprom
bwi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
bwi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
bwi0: firmware rev 0x0127, patch level 0x000e
bwi0: autoconfiguration error: device timeout

Any hint?
