Did you have to add anything to the generic kernel to get it to work? Someone told me that the error message meant that miibus wasn't in my kernel but everything I've looked at says it's already in the generic kernel which I'm using. Which version of FreeBSD are you running? Is the NIC sharing an interrupt with anything else?
