It ends up with the default handlers all being for IRQ 7. If you have a misconfigured IRQ, then you will get confusing messages about "strayintr 7". This is fixed in FreeBSD-current. The BT kernel requires the controller to be configured for IRQ 12. That is a strange default. The default for the BT445S is 11, the same as for the 1542. You probably just need to reconfigure the controller. -- Bruce Evans bde@kralizec.zeta.org.au
