>Description:
	After working for a while (since august with patchs and since dec with base install) re(4) on 

re0: <RealTek 8168/8111B PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfebff000-0xfebfffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci4
miibus0: <MII bus> on re0
rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S/8211B media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0
rgephy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 1000baseT-FDX, auto
re0: Ethernet address: 00:19:db:b5:f8:0f

	Requires -txcsum and -rxcsum to be set.  Failure to do so leads to very poor performence and/or completelyl failure to connect to certain machines and/or stall of download at 0 bytes.
