I have a Sony VAIO PCG-Z600NE with an internal fxp0. I do not configure the network in rc.conf as I do not want to launch dhclient unconditionnaly. As long as the interface has not been brought up, I get errors when packets are seen on it (well, I guess this is it, I receive approximately two messages per second, which correspond to the frequency of the broadcasts on my switched network). See end of dmesg for warnings. This is -CURRENT from one hour ago. Note that with late december -CURRENT, I got panics when booting with Ethernet plugged in.
