After doing some digging, I've found that there was a patch applied to RELENG_6, modifying the sk driver to ignore my revision of card, and instructing the re driver to attach. This is probably why it works for Robert and not for me; he's probably running 6 <something>, while I'm still on 5 STABLE. Applying the patch to these drivers myself is not a problem, but I'm just wondering if this can / will / will ever be pushed into the RELENG_5 branch. Does anyone know, or at the very least, who I should be talking to? Thanks. -- Jeremy
