This is the kernel with the fix, Generic didn't work, where it had in 3.x.
FreeBSD jayk-bsd1 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Tue Mar 28 03:10:11 PST 2000

>Description:
I was using FreeBDS 3.x (3.3-RELEASE and 3.4-RELEASE worked, not sure I got 3.2-RELEASE configured, 3.4-STABLE panicced often. These were all GENERIC kernels, once the panics started I gave up on building my own kernel). My network card was de0, and it worked. I think it is a Digital 21143, in a Compaq Presario  5600i.

Upon upgrading to 4.0-Stable, the network card stopped working.
Upon investigation I found that the driver now claiming it (in still a GENERIC kernel) was dc, not de, which has the same description in the config file, except that it uses the mii shared bus or somesuch.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get an Intel 21143 or whatever it is I have. Install FreeBSD 4.0 and/or upgrade to 4.0-Stable.
>Fix:
Don't use GENERIC kernel, where 3.x GENERIC worked fine. Configure the dc driver out of the kernel, and de ends up taking it fine.
