The results are in: /boot/loader.conf: loader_logo="beastiebw" #hint.miibus.0.phymask="0x00000001" relevant output from dmesg(8): nfe0: <NVIDIA nForce MCP61 Networking Adapter> port 0xe480-0xe487 mem 0xdff7d000-0xdff7dfff irq 20 at device 7.0 on pci0 nfe0: attempting to allocate 8 MSI vectors (8 supported) msi: routing MSI IRQ 257 to local APIC 0 vector 56 msi: routing MSI IRQ 258 to local APIC 0 vector 57 msi: routing MSI IRQ 259 to local APIC 0 vector 58 msi: routing MSI IRQ 260 to local APIC 0 vector 59 msi: routing MSI IRQ 261 to local APIC 0 vector 60 msi: routing MSI IRQ 262 to local APIC 0 vector 61 msi: routing MSI IRQ 263 to local APIC 0 vector 62 msi: routing MSI IRQ 264 to local APIC 0 vector 63 nfe0: using IRQs 257-264 for MSI nfe0: Using 8 MSI messages miibus0: <MII bus> on nfe0 rlphy0: <RTL8201L 10/100 media interface> PHY 0 on miibus0 rlphy0: OUI 0x000004, model 0x0020, rev. 1 rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto, auto-flow nfe0: bpf attached nfe0: Ethernet address: 40:61:86:cd:44:97 ... vlan: initialized, using hash tables with chaining ... lo0: bpf attached ... Hmmm. I think we have a winner. No? The only thing that I noticed that appeared to be different. Is that it takes some 5 seconds to get from: nfe0: link state changed to DOWN nfe0: link state changed to UP to: Starting Network: ... output. I don't know that your patch had anything to do with that. Or it's just another anomaly with the driver/NIC. But it was a long enough period/change, that I thought it worth mentioning. Thank you again, for all your time, and efforts. --Chris >
