Did stock nfe(4) work on MCP55?
(I'm not interested in how nve(4) works on MCP55.)
I'm afraid MCP55 requires different programming. Searching archives
for Linux forcedeth driver also reveals issues on MCP55 which is
exactly the same issue I think.
I'll let you know if I find a clue but it's hard to fix due to lack
of MCP55 hardware and documentation.
