Just for archival purposes, in case others need this; I solved my problem by pulling the modifications from RELENG_6 into my local source, and recompiling my kernel with the drivers included. I don't seem to require the kernel module like Robert does, as the driver attaches and initializes when compiled right in. The files to look at are: if_re.c, if_sk.c, if_skreg,h, and if_rlreg.h. Thanks for your help Robert. -- Jeremy
