freebsd stable - Apr 2003 - Broken NIC in 4.8 Stable - reposted here as original was in -questions

Apparently I should of posted this here instead of in -questions, so here goes:-

Hi 

I cvsup'ed the latest source on Saturday night at 9pm as I do every night
onto
my dev box this was then extracted in to my source tree and a new world built
and new kernels for all my systems.

On Sunday I performed a "make installkernel" followed by a "make
installworld"
and finally a mergemaster. This worked fine in my "gate" system and it
is now
running 

# uname -a
FreeBSD gate.lan.raffles-it.com 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Sat Apr  5
02:02:36 BST 2003    
root@dev.lan.raffles-it.com:/usr/build/obj.stable/usr/build/src.stable/sys/GATE 
i386

and all is working fine

when I performed the same steps on my "dev" box all appeared to be OK
until I
rebooted when it failed to probe correctly my network card. Below is the
output of my "/var/log/messages file for the old 4.7 working kernel
followed
closely by the output from the 4.8 kernel.

Not being someone that is terribly up with the inner workings of the kernel,
can any one provide any guidance as to where to look. I have looked through
/usr/src/UPDATING and LINT and cannot see any changes like the inclusion of
"miibus" that may be required. I know this problem appeared a while
back for
me and it took about a week to ten days of cvsupping and rebuilding kernels
before it all magically started working again.

Any one know what might of changed?

Thanks for any assistance as I have 4 machines with the exact same network
card that I would like to upgrade some time soon.

David.

The if_de code hasn't changed in years...  Are you triple-sure you've
got de in
the kernel you're booting?  Can you try loading the if_de kernel module?
