 Just to note that the problem persist at this time, currently using
 RELENG_6 permanently.  Others report were made, showing that this is
 not an isolated problem, even though it may not be widely seen.
 
 One report said that this may be corrected in -CURRENT, but i don't
 have the material to test it right now.  But if that is right, and
 since this problem happeared before 5.2 release, it may be a good
 thing if someone may be test it, trying to MFC fixes before the
 6.0 release if any (two years with this same problem seems very long).
 
 As asked by Bjoern A. Zeeb on current@[1], follow the PHY/miibus
 information for re(4):
 # grep rgephy /var/run/dmesg.boot
 rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S media interface> on miibus0
 rgephy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX,
 1000baseTX-FDX, auto
