Driver bfe, panic: driver error, dflt_lock called

[Jose]

I supposed that you wanted the errors with the bfe so here it goes,
I found that it wasn't when I plugged the cable, but when it tried to
use the NIC
after that:

When booting:

        bfe0: <Broadcom BCM4401-B0 Fast Ethernet> mem
0xef9fe000-0xef9fffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2
        miibus0: <MII bus> on bfe0
        bmtphy0: <BCM4401 10/100baseTX PHY> on miibus0
        bmtphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
        bfe0: Ethernet address: 00:14:22:ae:f4:f7

pciconf -lv:

        bfe0 at pci2:0:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x01d81028 chip=0x170c14e4
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
            vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
            device   = 'BCM440x 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet'
            class    = network
ifconfig:
        bfe0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
                options=8<VLAN_MTU>
                ether 00:14:22:ae:f4:f7
                media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
                status: no carrier

With the cable plugged:

        bfe0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
                options=8<VLAN_MTU>
                ether 00:14:22:ae:f4:f7
                media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
                status: active

And finally when it tries to use the nic,

dhclient bfe0:
panic: driver error: dflt_lock called
