from pgt(4),
The pgt driver provides support for Conexant/Intersil GT-series devices
which can support the Full-Mac firmwares, using the ISL3877, ISL3880, and
ISL3890 chips. The pgt driver will not (yet) work on similar devices
using the ISL3886 or similar chips which use the Soft-Mac firmwares.
do you know which device you have?

In theory dmesg should be able to pick up the message buffer from that
dump, see the options in dmesg(8).
