I've put Pavel's patches at
http://people.freebsd.org/~dmlb/bfe-4.8.tar.gz
Built the module if_bfe manually and booted up my 4.9-p2-RELEASE on Dell Inspiron 8500.

Note that it says status "no carrier". I managed to change this behaviour by issuing "ifconfig bfe0 media 100BaseTX", which correctly identified carrier as "Active", but a crash occurred a few second after that. Tried other variations of ifconfig to change mediaoptions with the same results. Putting if_bfe_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf resulted in more crashes. Sighs ..
Help. Anyone .. ?
