I don't know if people are tracking such things, but I've sucessfully applied the nfe drivers, plus ciphy patches, from: http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html This is on a GA-K8N51GMF-9 GigaByte motherboard, running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE.

I'll send an update for amd64/92527, at least announcing this sucess. Any word on if/when these drivers will be pulled into the tree?
