Yes: ifconfig_nfe0="SYNCDHCP" I guess [nfe] is undergoing gradual devel changes of some sort as before it had some chance of reporting "empty headers" on initial ifconfig and refusing to work. Sorry, I should have reported when encountering the first problems rather than solve by reboot. In any case, the alternative [nve] should be marked "dangerous" as under heavy load it tends to crash the system.
