After doing some digging, I've found that there was a patch applied to
RELENG_6, modifying the sk driver to ignore my revision of card, and
instructing the re driver to attach.  This is probably why it works for
Robert and not for me; he's probably running 6 <something>, while I'm
still on 5 STABLE.

Applying the patch to these drivers myself is not a problem, but I'm just
wondering if this can / will / will ever be pushed into the RELENG_5
branch.  Does anyone know, or at the very least, who I should be talking
to?

Thanks.
