Hello...
I had another NIC from marvell (I did not remember if it was a nve or nfe)
that refuses to work until I put the word "UP" in the ifconfig command
in /etc/rc.conf.....
ifconfig_xx0="up DHCP"
==================================================
may be is it not the case????
what the command ifconfig shows??? does the kernel detect the NIC???
Hope it can help....
