It would be helpful if you could search what exact commit causes these
problems.  I'm particularly interested in knowing if your NIC is working
OK with revision 1.168 of if_fxp.c.  Also, it would be interesting to
know what exact revision you have in the working kernel from the 7th.
Assuming this kernel is /boot/kernel.old/kernel, this command should
give you that information :
	ident /boot/kernel.old/kernel | grep fxp

If for some reason you're using the fxp(4) driver as a module, run the
above command on the if_fxp.ko file.
