I would be happy to test & help, I also have a PE1950 around waiting for
this problem to be solved to go in production.  I would just need to  
have
the patch.   (I'll check the list archive later, I just joined  
freebsd-stable today)

Btw, it would be nice if the patched if_bce.c could also be integrated
into the cvs  (http://yogurt.org/FreeBSD/if_bce.c).  At the moment (beg.
of the week) I still had to patch the source tree by hand to keep the  
network
interface working fine  (cf. thread on freebsd-hardware).
