This is one of our new systems, the onboard NICs require either
the latest driver you can download from Intel, or the community
STABLE that is named after my Intel driver (6.1.4).

6.1 RELEASE definitely will NOT work. Let me know if you
have any further questions.

The standard ports Just Work with the em driver on a recent RELENG_6. 
IPMI access to the BMC via the piggybacked MAC addresses also works. 
We haven't tried the AXXGBIOMOD  integrated dual GigE port expansion module.

Any chance to commit the ID info to the driver  ? Seems to work just 
fine as an fxp.
