What is your link parter for re0? I don't remember whether the PHY
hardware really supports automatic MDI crossover detection. Even if
the PHY hardware does not support it, the link partner would be
able to do that.

And could you show me the output of dmesg(re(4) and rgephy(4) only)
and "devinfo -rv | grep rgephy"?
