I have a Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. Yukon 88E8000 on my Asus P4P800-E
(according to dmesg that is, the booklet claims it's a 88E8001).

Using the patch on a stock 5.3R system did not help (could not even get
a dhcp lease). Adding debug.mpsafenet="0" in /boot/loader.conf also did
not help.

Adding SK_LOCK/SK_UNLOCK patch of
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern%2F73038
also did not help.

Someone suggested upgrading the BIOS to >1003, the system now runs
1005.002, which ;-) did not help.
