When you first load the driver you have to reboot or run some scripts =20 by hand. After the install did you reboot with no other changes and it =20 not work? IIRC, you need linux loaded as well as miibus. I made a pr =20 about the nvnet port being out of date and it was updated so the nic =20 would work in 64bit mode. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D71548 So I know atleast it has worked on amd64.
