Maxim, I patched if_sk in a similar fashion, and got the same errors you
did.  I took a look at the Linux sky2 driver which works with the
MacBook Yukon-II, and the Yukon-II chipset is very different from the
Yukon.

However, I did find that the SysKonnect-provided Yukon-II driver works
quite well (see
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2006-January/009543.html).  =
Building the driver was easy.  I just untarred the source to /usr/src/sys/d=
ev/myk, and did a make all.  With this driver, I was able to get the wired =
ethernet in the MacBook to pass traffic.

BTW, thanks for your work on the reboot issue.  Oh, and are you using
Alt at boot-time to select FreeBSD, or have you done some EFI magic to
make FreeBSD the default boot partition?

Joe
