I just checked my old list of drivers, and as it turns out, I was using nve(4), not nfe(4). It appears that I was mislead by the release notes, thinking that nfe was a replacement for nve, when it was really something different. I rebuilt the kernel with nve, and my connection is fixed. I'll take this as a lesson to read the documentation three times before making assumptions. Thanks, Matthew. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
