    Ok, in the 4 months since our last exchange on this matter, we did try
    WindowsXP/64 on the machine. There were no problems using the interface
    (after I added NVidia's drivers, that is).

    I'm now trying to net-install 6.0-BETA2 and am seeing the same symptoms
    however. The interface works (very) intermittently. For example, during
    install, it was unable to obtain the DHCP information. But, when we entered
    the info by hand, it was able to resolve the name 'ftp3.freebsd.org'. But
    then it was again unable to login to the ftp-server.

    While the install was struggling with that, I looked at the debug screen --
    Alt-F2. It kept showing "Interface nve0 UP" and "Interface nve0 DOWN".

    Have you made any updates to the driver/port recently, that may not be in 6.0?
    Is the net/nvnet port newer -- we can try to install 5.4 and add this port...

    Thanks!

    P.S. The machine has no OS on it right now -- I'm attaching the dmesg and the
    pciconf output from April 13.
