It's working fine since I installed 6.1. The odd thing is, I thought I needed the bce driver, but the 6.1 install detected the NIC and used the bge driver. That driver is available in 6.0 as well, yet it didn't work in that install.

Why is this confusing? Drivers get updated to cover newer versions of chips which didn't exist or weren't available to the developer when originally written. If you really care then check out the CVS history for your driver from the FreeBSD site (developer / CVS Repository / web interface).

If I understand what you're saying, you're saying that the driver only gets updated for the latest OS? That seems a bit absurd to me. Wouldn't the bge driver be the same for every OS version that it's available for?
