Just upgraded a machine to AMD64, .. and the MB has an NVIDIA nForce MCP
ethernet onboard. Unfortunately, the nfe driver configures but will not
pass traffic.
Before I drop in another card, would any data or troubleshooting be
useful?

Hi Lee,
I used to have an eMachines ET-1300, its motherboard was MCP61 from
Nvidia, and the ethernet card used nfe driver. In OpenBSD 4.7 AMD64 it
worked fine, later I used OpenBSD 4.8 i386, also no problem with
ethernet. The computer is currently sitting in a cupboard on the other
side of the world, so I haven't tried 4.9 on it. But hopefully this info
will help you narrow down your problem - I guess either a regression or
a broken ethernet card?
Brett.
