not.

Hi!

Does anybody know if if_nfe should work on the above motherboard? I snached
the patch for FreeBSD-6.2 from
<http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html> and
tried it. The kernel and ifconfig seems happy, but it does not work;
ifconfig reports "active" but ifconfig reports:

nfe0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
        ether 00:17:31:86:aa:31
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
nfe1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
        inet6 fe80::217:31ff:fe86:b4c6%nfe1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
inet 192.168.1.191 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 00:17:31:86:b4:c6
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64
scopeid 0x5        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
The media part of nfe1 looks bad, eh?

Is it supposed to work? How can I help to get it working?

FreeBSD 6.2-stable, around RC1. Enclosed is a dmesg. Anything else needed?
