There is something different about the FreeBSD ethernet drivers,
apparently (or BPF, or something). Mike Hibler and I were helping a
fellow from Texas recover his HP-BSD system when we noticed it. Scott
Reynolds sent me a patch that DTRT #if defined(__FreeBSD__). However, I
have lost the patch (and I forgot to check it in to the tree).
Scott, Mike, anyone: if you have the patch, I'd sure appreciate it if
you'd send me a copy :-)
Ciao.
