 Just some follow up information as it is still not
 working.
 
 Here's my pciconf output:
 
 nfe0 at pci0:0:17:0: class=0x068000 card=0xc55e10de
 chip=0x037310de rev=0xa3 hdr=0x00

 device = 'MCP55 Ethernet'
 class = bridge
 nfe1 at pci0:0:18:0: class=0x068000 card=0xc55e10de
 chip=0x037310de rev=0xa3 hdr=0x00

 I have tried to use the 7-STABLE nfe driver, but after
 extracting the relative dev and module files into
 their respective locations, the re-compile failed:

 I then used the kernel from a RELENG_7 snapshot and
 copied the kernel from that and it still did not work.
  So, I just decided to disable the two on-board
 Ethernet ports and install a spare PCI card and got
 FreeBSD 7.0 Release up and running just fine, but I do
 want to eventually find a solution!
