No, I did not try this link since I thought the CVS tree's version was the stabelst version we have. I find it convenient by pushing it via net using cvs just after I upgraded my CVS tree of the sources for the operating system. I will keep this link in mind. Is there a date we can this driver expect in FreeBSD 6.2? Or is the driver more subject to be merged in 6.2-STABLE and for 6.3? nve() isn't suitable, neither with SCHED_ULE (which I use now again) and with SCHED_4BSD, because on my hardware platform the interrupt generation is much higher than that of the nfe() driver - and due to this massive interrupts useless for me.
