Hello Ed,

fortunately I have one here.

I tied the 13.0-RC2 image and can confirm that the Ethernet LEDs are
not working any more.

I have also tried a 14.0 Current GENERIC from February with the same
result.

Buildworld, buildkernel are running now to get a CURRENT from today.
I will also update the contents of the MSDOS partition to match what
is in the latest 14.0 image.

A colleague noticed that the Ethernet LEDs are not working any more
after a new image installation on his RPi 3B+. Unfortunately he can't
remember what the working FreeBSD version was, but it happened more
than a year ago.
