Weird.

Yes, my driver patch isn't quite correct.

Joking aside, did you get any error message on sideshowbob's console?
Something like "sn0: Tx - timeout" (could be a little different; it's
from top of my head)?

Also, content of your /etc/ifconfig.sn0 and outputs of "ifconfig -a"
before and after sn0 is "configured" may be helpful (You don't have
to tell us your real IP address if you don't feel like).
