Yeah, I just tried the latest "Freesbie" Live-CD (2.0.1), which boots up okay without ACPI...and bfe0 is also working the way it should! I can UP and DOWN the interface without problems, and it receives an inet address from my router's DHCP server. Assigning an address manually via ifconfig also works fine, the system doesn't freeze at all in any case. So I think I should start comparing both bfe implementations, I guess. Enjoy the show --j
