nfe: up-down pingpong at boot time, but no dhcp

Wed Apr 6 13:12:32 UTC 2016

Hi folks,

the nfe driver of FreeBSD 4.3 does some kind of up-down pingpong
at boot time. DHCP is stuck in an endless loop. No login, unless
I disconnect the ethernet cable :-(. See the attached snapshot.

Hardware is MCP79. Booting without ACPI fails; the kernel
panics very early at boot time:

	panic: running without device atpic requires a local APIC

Every helpful comment is highly appreciated. Regards
Harri
