I checked out 9-stable today and applied the latest patches posted by Richard Neese on this list today, and while the DP "sees" the second ethernet port (mge1 exists) it still wouldn't send packets on that port until I changed the MPP pin assignments in the DTS file to match the pin setup done by the builtin linux that came pre-installed on the unit. I haven't yet tried to build ports using stock freebsd. At work we have an arcane and complex and fragile system for cross-building ports, which I only partially understand. -- Ian
