polling(4) says that supported devices include em(4) and that polling su=
pport is turned on and off with ifconfig's 'polling' option.  But ifconf=
ig doesn't seem to recognize that option either as a standalone request =
or with the initial em0 setup at boot.

This is after a source cvsup (releng=3D6 for the frozen for 6.2 sources)=
 yesterday and buildworld + buildkernel.  em support is compiled in the =
kernel rather than loaded.  Mobo is a Supermicro P4SCT-0 with Intel 875 =
chipset.

Is this a known issue that I haven't found references to, or perhaps som=
ething related to my specific configuration?
