Well, it's definitely stable enough for lab use, that's a bonus. I caused myself a few headaches by doing stupid things that caused a series of panics, but all are easily attributed to human errata...

Oddly the i2c bus is gone - any ideas what we changed that caused it to disappear?

If I'm reading the DSDT correctly, then it should be hanging right off acpi0. We can even see it in an older dmesg.boot:

i2c0: <Vybrid Family Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)> iomem 0x2000000-0x200ffff irq 7 on acpi0

But now, nothing...

Aside - since the builtin netifs are basically useless for us, any suggestions on USB wifi dongles? I tried a few from my parts piles, but all of them were unstable Realtek trash. I know Atheros chips are usually a good bet in Linux land - does that hold true in FreeBSD as well?
