> Last time I was plodding around with this bug, I remember looking into
the possibility of reverting but it seemed to be non-trivial (at least
given my limited knowledge). Not only the driver itself but the compat
layer as well would need to be rolled back, which would affect all other
freebsd Ethernet drivers.

over this, I would propose that we simply manually inject the attached
working gcc2 binary driver into the release images and defer this ticket
to alpha 5, once alpha 4 is out the door.
Given you think reverting the source would be non-trivial and would
require changing the compat layer, why would injecting the old binary
version work? Is the compat layer compiled into each driver? If it is not,
I don't see how the old binary driver could work with the new compat
layer.
If the compat layer is compiled in, then I'll explore this option.
Unfortunately I don't think I have any hardware I can test on, but maybe I
could provide a test image or patch to luroh.
