I've been having problems trying to get the onboard networking to work with this Asus Striker Extreme ever since I first put FreeBSD-current on it. Right now, I have a cheapy junk-pile card that probes as a dc0 working, but my motherboard has two nfe's (nfe0 & nfe1) that show up on the desmg. If I use ifconfig and activate them, the whole machine comes to a complete halt (complete, neither console nor ssh sessions work, machine is dead to the world apparently) and this starts whenever I use ifconfig to turn up either nfe0 or nfe1. I've complained before, but a new possibility occurred to me, while I was slowly reading the NOTES in /sys/i386/conf, that the networking stuff is very sensitive to order. Is that still true? If I have a dc device and a nfe device, do I need to be aware of anything as regards the config file statement order? Thanks
