Re: nge (Dlink 500-T [Gigabit Driver]) Failure on 5.1

Seems as though if it's compiled into the kernel, it works just fine.

## ifconfig begin##
nge0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=13<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
        ether 00:50:ba:39:19:c3
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
## ifconfig end ##

## dmesg begin ##
nge0: <National Semiconductor Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xec00-0xecff mem
0xe2001000-0xe2001fff irq 17 at device 11.0 on pci0
nge0: Ethernet address: 00:50:ba:39:19:c3

nsgphy0: <DP83861 10/100/1000 media interface> on miibus2
nsgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT,
1000baseT-FDX, auto
## dmesg end ##


Im not quite sure at this point what caused it, but I will attempt to look
into it and find out why it wont load as a module.  It's built in now and
everything is just fine, again, but it still worries me that it's doing
that.
