I also didn't have the time to look at it the last day and a half, but
I have time this weekend so I'll definitely investigate.
The part that I'm confused about is "what's the 'ps2' utility?"
There's no mention of it in /usr/ports and the only things I can find
with google are a DOS program by that name. Is that what you're referring to?
If so, where do I get it?

This is the part that confuses me as well, but from 5.0 to 5.1 the fxp
driver was completely re-written to use a different API so tracking
down the specific problem is going to suck :(
I also have XP on the laptop (for work stuff, honest! :) and it's working
fine as well, so it's definitely a bug in 5.1.
I'll also try getting -CURRENT /usr/src off another system and recompiling
from scratch to see if that fixes the issue (not having net sucks! :)

PS: Someone had said that although they might be able to find the bug they'd
need the affected hardware. Well, if you're between Toronto and Quebec
City I could arrange a field trip for the weekend, but I'm not shipping
my laptop to Europe :)
