People previously using these drivers need to update their /etc/rc.conf files accordingly. Also note that if_dc should now handle 21143-based NICs. If you were previously using if_de for a 21143 card, you may see if_dc take over support for it depending on your kernel config. If you have a 21143-based NIC which worked with if_de and *doesn't* work with if_dc, please let me know ASAP. Most 10/100 NICs should work fine: the only questionable ones are 10Mbps only versions. If you have a NIC that doesn't work, please show me the output of pciconf -l from your system when reporting a problem.
