I forwarded this thread on -current.

Please also find below a stack trace produced with option KDB_UNATTENDED
for the rt28700 driver (if_rt28700).

On another side note, I have not being able to load
the runfw firmware module anymore after having updated
the src tree for 8.2-STABLE ?

so for me using the run(4) driver would be acceptable solution however as
the rt28700 driver doesn't depends on a firmware module, I have no choice
currently to stick with the former rt28700 driver. I notice however that 
there's
still some random page faults occuring with the run(4) module, but are 
non-fatal
with option KDB_UNATTENDED... :)

Cheers!
