Well actually that requires a bit more: implementing on-board timer.

freebsd if_re.c driver loopback test sequence passes if packet is received
AND timeout occur; the latter cannot happen because of missing timer support.
Then, driver tries to set up on-board timer for various reasons and may not
work without timer.
