      A more precise explanation than "stopped working" might persuade a response.

          Hmmm, odd.  I wonder if there was a driver change that caused this?  What is it plugged into?

                depends on how cli experienced you are.  you could try this: get an ISO for RC1, mount it and copy /boot/kernel/kernel.gz from the ISO to /boot/kernel/kernel.gz on your pfsense box.  I believe the drivers are all built into the kernel.  The bad thing about this is that it gives you an older kernel, so there may be bugfixes you are not getting, but that is better than being off the air..

                      Please go to http://redmine.pfsense.org and open a ticket against this.  Make sure you state clearly the date of the working and broken snapshots.

                        We don't have anything to do with drivers, please don't open tickets on hardware-specific problems, as we can't do anything about those. see also: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Policy_on_FreeBSD_issues

                        It does sound like a regression from FreeBSD 7.1 to 7.2, but I know for a fact that many bge cards are working just fine with 7.2. I don't have any suggestions, short of reporting it on a FreeBSD list (freebsd-net probably best).

                          Ah, okay.  Didn't know if you wanted to be able to track issues (like the atheros 7.1/7.2 one).
