What version of nfe are you running ? If its older than % ident /usr/src/sys/dev/nfe/if_nfe.c /usr/src/sys/dev/nfe/if_nfe.c: $OpenBSD: if_nfe.c,v 1.54 2006/04/07 12:38:12 jsg Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/nfe/if_nfe.c,v 1.21.2.5 2008/04/17 04:22:32 yongari Exp $ perhaps try that on your machine to see if it helps. Prior version did not work very well for me at all. Not sure if it will just "work" or you need to do a full cvsup buildworld/buildkernel. ---Mike
