The following reply was made to PR amd64/92527; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brian Reichert <reichert@numachi.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, admin@lissyara.su Cc: Subject: Re: amd64/92527: no driver for "CICADA VSC 8201 Gigabit LAN PHY " on motherboard GA-K8N51GMF-9 Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 17:38:39 -0400 (As also reported to -amd64). 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?
