It would help if you gave the exact revisions of the snapshots you are using. And if you are going to hunt this down, I would recommend getting a local subversion repository of the sources, so that you can selectively revert changes and then rebuild to test. I have a MCP61-based NIC using nfe, and I haven't had any problems. Since you both have Marvell 88E1116-based chipsets, I'm going to guess that one of yongari_at_'s changesets from June 2 was the source of your problems: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/193289 http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/193291 If you revert these and still can't get your NICs to work, then I think that probably the new ACPI import that began on June 5 with r193529 may be the next likely suspect.
