Sorry,
lost the initial posting. Tried the nfe-related stuff for if_nfe posted 
by Pyun YongHyeon these days and this is the result of a verbose boot 
for my ASUS A8N32-SLI mainboard:

nfe0: <NVIDIA nForce4 CK804 MCP9 Networking Adapter> port 0x9480-0x9487 
mem 0xddcf6000-0xddcf6fff irq 22 at device 19.0 on pci0

All right, is looks like MSI isn't supported by the onboard MCP9 NIC or 
the driver isn't supporting this NIC, but it seems the nfe() driver does 
support NICs based on MCP55-based boards/chipsets. What's up with the 
MCP9 NIC on CK804/nForce4 chipsets?

Regards,
Oliver
