Looks like the changes have not yet been rfc'd. however, if you use
copy the two files linked to earlier in this thread, or use cvsweb to
download the files from HEAD
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c and
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h ), copy
the two files into your source tree, and rebuild the kernel.
I have been using those files for a few weeks now, and the problem
seems a lot better. things seem useable, but, just checking now, I may
be getting the odd packet lost.
