well, I did that but using that chip on windows :(
I got two nics based on these chips but they are unstable as hell in
FreeBSD. on pfSense (FreeBSD 7.1 and 7.2 versions) I never got the axe0
media to be active. on 8-stable (this box), one got issues with media link
and the other can set link state ok, but looses 10% of ping packets. iperf
gets cut every now and then and this makes the throughput suffer :(
I plan to use pfSense 1.2.3 (7.2 based) and when available pfSense 2.0
(8.0 based).
are there any patches to try ? it is really unstable here ...
some logs:

this is:

root@xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/xxx amd64
and on both ends there is a nic using this chip, here is this freebsd and
the other on windows xp.
as said above, when run iperf on this nic on windows and my nfe gigabit I
got those 228Mbps said above.
thanks,
