I've been running the "nfe" driver with the "ciphy" patch for probably greater
than six months on my NVidia nForce4-based Athlon X2 system.  I don't understand
why it hasn't been rolled into -stable yet.  Admittedly I haven't tested nve for
a while, but the comment above doesn't instill confidence.  Without the ciphy
patch none of the drivers even detect carrier, which means that the base system
still doesn't include those bits...

Cheers,
