Re won't even attach on my laptop unless I hack out the diag() function.
Even after that it does the random watch dog timeout trick. Somebody
suggested that it may have to do with mbufs not being allocated
correctly. I've looked at the code, but don't have the experience with
hardware drivers to figure it out.

I've reported this problem on more than one occation. The maintainer
doesn't seem interested. He's probably too busy working on something
else.
