After getting stuck on this I left it for a couple of days while I tried 
to install Ubuntu on the same machine. Then I came back to try FreeBSD 
again, and it was working fine, as if by magic. I don't know what to 
make of this, whether somehow the Ubuntu fiddling had an effect, or for 
some other reason it settled down into a working condition. Perhaps I 
had some odd problem with incorrect arp cache entries that finally timed 
out. I can't really understand it.

In any event, I now see the jme driver working fine on the Eee Box B202 
under both FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE and 8.0-RELEASE.
