hey there,
i'm running a CURRENT from Dec 6 and have noticed that when i attempt to
load the iwlwifi kernel module kldload does not exit. it seems to happen
after the firmware loads, here's the output from /var/log/messages:

I can't ctl+c to quit the command, but the system does not hang. i'm
able to kill kldload in a seperate shell, but future attempts to load
the kernel module also hang the shell. also, when kldload hangs i
notice that if_iwlwifi is *not* showing up when i run kldstat.
here's the PCI device info:
ppt0@pci0:0:20:3: class=0x028000 rev=0x30 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086
device=0x9df0 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0030
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Cannon Point-LP CNVi [Wireless-AC]'
class = network
Happy to provide any more debug info if needed. Thanks!
