Sorry for the tardiness in my reply. I was away for a month.

The card was not recognized, so I'm not sure what to look for in dmesg
(there was nothing that even remotely hinted to the card/chipset). Any way
I can force ifconfig to use the em driver anyway?

I cvsup-ed today, and did a buildkernel/installkernel (without a
buildworld/installworld), on a Vmware box, just to see if I could compile
me a new kernel; but, as expected, ipfw gets messed up that way.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
