Do you (or does anyone else here) have any
recommendations then on a good PCI express (no plain
PCI slots) ethernet card that doesn't use the nve
driver? Maybe an Intel card? Gigabit speeds
preferably. I could then use that until the nve
driver gets fixed (Is somebody even working on fixing
it?).
Thanks,

No, unfortunately I don't know about a good alternative. I don't think
anybody is
working on it now. Maxime Henrion and Quinton Dolan committed changes
to that driver,
but unfortunately it didn't make things better.

Hello.
I'm also interested in fixing the omnipresent nve-problems, but reading
the manpages for nve(4) reveals the bad circumstance that this driver
seems to be 'wrapped' around a Linux binary object. Nvidia obviously
isn't willing to offer documentation about the chip's internals so it
will be hard to develop an open source driver for this NIC. That sounds
to me to get happy with a 'ever GIANT locked' nve NIC using FreeBSD 6.X
