Drat.  I suspected something like this might happen.  The message I posted
earlier was supposed to be a "state of the union" for SBLive! support.
Since then, the SBLive! drivers were fully committed to the 4.0-STABLE
branch.  If you're following 4.0-STABLE, a cvsup and kernel recompile
should help out with your problems.  

If it weren't so close to the end of the quarter, I'd upgrade from 3.4 to
4.0 and see how well they work.
