Hi, Just some more feedback on your patch.
I have a Jetway J7F4K1G2E board with dual embedded 
RealteK RTL8110SC. I tried using the 19 January 2009 jkim 
patches:

And also tried using what I believe are same changes he made
to HEAD via if_re.c, if_rl.c and if_rlreg.h(187483), and
still had issues with the controllers at system startup.

I have been using your patch above originally proffered on 
Feb 13 since Feb 18 and the system has been working fine 
since then. 

controllers:
