I guess you've tried to use a patch against -CURRENT with a 6.2-RELEASE version which is not a good idea. cvs shows, support for this chip has been MFC'd 8 days ago into -STABLE (see: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/msk/if_msk.c). You should cvsup to RELENG_6, recompile world + kernel and try msk then. HTH, Volker
