>Description:
While the Installation of FBSD 8.0 the MAC of msk0
was covered cleared to 00:00:00:00:00:00.
Before the installation this value was guaranteed not 0!
I had used the interface msk0 successfully since 2006!

104]  ifconfig
msk0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=11a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,TSO4>
        ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
        media: Ethernet autoselect
sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        ether 00:17:31:69:a0:77
        inet 192.168.64.103 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.64.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,flag0,flag1>)
        status: active

Since this event the interface msk0 is not usable.
I was not able to set this value permanently to a value >0.
Fortunately the Asus board P5B deluxe has TWO marvell interfaces!
