Well I have no idea what I am doing wrong, but I have tried it
countless times and still keep getting the watchdog timeouts.  I have
cleaned everything out and re-cvsuped each time and followed the
instructions exactly how I did the first time, when I did get it
working, but to no avail.

Here is what I am doing now:

patch -R <rlphy.patch
cvsup
patch <rlphy.patch
make buildkernel
make installkernel
reboot
cd nfe-20060505
make
cp if_nfe.ko /boot/modules
kldload if_nfe

I seem to remember before that when I did 'kldload if_nfe' it would
also load some other modules, something with miibus and something with
rlphy.  Now when I do the kldload it only loads up if_nfe, which I am
not sure if this is right or not.

I started figuring maybe my custom kernel was screwing it up even
though it worked before with the same kernel, but I just built it
against GENERIC and have the same results.

The problems started at 6.1-STABLE, 6.1-RC2 was the last time it worked.

Thanks again for any help.

Cheers,
Tyler
