Haven't tried 6.0-STABLE (can't get -RELEASE to install due to unrelated bug bin/88872). According to cvsweb, 6.0-RELEASE has the latest Intel driver. Also: The bug you're seeing may be unrelated to the bug I was seeing, but I suspect they may be similar. Arps just don't seem to be going out like they should
