FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and nfe ?

[Frank Staals]

Hey,

I am running a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE machine with a MSI K8N SLI-F 
mainboard, it has problems with the nve driver so I searched around on 
the internet and found this site about the nfe driver: 
http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html . 
Allthough there were no files for 6.1-RELEASE. Are there specific files 
or instructions for installing on 6.1-RELEASE. I'm not too fond of 
upgrading my system at this point and when I tried using the 
6.2-PRERELEASE files I came upon these errors during the 'make' when 
rebuilding my kernel:

I hope anyone can help me. If it is not possible to install nfe on 
6.1-RELEASE would upgrading to 6-STABLE allow me to install the driver ?
