I'm going to look into backing out some of the recent commits to if_dc and see if that helps, but I have to say this result isn't thrilling :-). Interestingly, IP works, although it's probably making a mess of the CPU load on the surrounding machines: curry:~> arp -a ... ? (192.168.11.227) at 00:00:00:00:00:00 on xl0 [ethernet] Another problem I've had with this card for years is that it can't properly negotiation 100mbps, although around 3.0-current, it could. No time to track that down either.
