I've got two of the DFE cards in a couple of FreeBSD boxes I use as
routers, and the both have been working fine for about a year. The
cards were working fine in the 3.x branch, and are working in 4.x.
For me they just show up as 4 de devices. I know someone else who was
running -CURRENT that was having problems with them, but that was a
while ago.
