Actually, your first comment has brought to light something which I
missed upon searching through my initial configuration.
I just checked my old list of drivers, and as it turns out, I was using
nve(4), not nfe(4). It appears that I was mislead by the release notes,
thinking that nfe was a replacement for nve, when it was really something
different.
I rebuilt the kernel with nve, and my connection is fixed. I'll take this
as a lesson to read the documentation three times before making
assumptions.
Thanks, Matthew.
