I always preserve kernel ordering same as GENERIC, costs little time
& can save agro/ risk. If that doesnt fix it, maybe try nve for comparison
(thoug of course nasty binary), here's an extravt from a mail:
--------
Old driver was called NVE,
- Ran at 100 Mbit/s but falsely reported running at 10.
- Was based on common binary only code common to Microsoft Linux & BSD.
For FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE
New NFE driver available some months
as a set of source patches, steadily improving.
FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE (out soon) will have NFE & NVE inbuilt.
( FreeBSD-7.0-BETA3 has it already )
FreeBSD-6.3-RELEASE (out soon, same time as 7.0 ) will Not have NFE inbuilt

BTW Search engine on www.freebsd.org hsnt been good for Message-IDs for
months, google is better (Open & Net use google not own, maybe FreeBSD should)
