Thanks for the reply, Brandon.
That's a no op. It's an onboard NIC. So unless I get out
the exacto knife, or de-solder it. It's not going to happen. ;)

On the up-side. I pulled the power from the PSU, and pulled
a PCI NIC of the shelf, and shoved into a spare slot. My
intention was to force IRQ reassignment, in case the (onboard)
NIC was forced into sharing an IRQ for some strange reason.
Anyway, plugged in the power cord, and booted the box, and
*viola* the nfe0 NIC was back online. Don't know whether it
was completely removing the power, the additional NIC, or
both. But in the end; all is good.

Thanks again, Brandon, for taking the time to respond.
