p Emulated .Nm device under .Tn Oracle .Tn VirtualBox attaches and works fine, but sometimes after reboot device no longer works. When this happens, controller fails to properly disable/enable during probe, so the .Xr ld 4 is not attached. Virtual machine must be completely powered off and started again to get the device working again.
p .Nm kernel module is currently only loadable for kernels configured with 'no ld'.
