 Ah, I haven't been using FreeBSD for some time now... I see things
 have changed in 7.x. :) Card is WORKING properly now. I tried setting
 and address and listening on it. I will test further today and see if
 there are any problems.
 Anyway, is there a chance for a patch downstream to STABLE? Or change
 is already there?
 
 Again, thank a lot for your time and effort on this issue.
 
 
 All best
