Hmm, it seems you know how to trigger the issue. When you unplug
UTP cable was there active network traffic on re(4) device?
It would be helpful to know which event triggers the crash(e.g.
unplugging or plugging).  And would you show me backtrace of panic?

This looks like 8168GU controller.

Yup, netmap(4) has nothing to do with the crash.

Thanks.
