During boot, i get the following: rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0x6100-0x61ff mem 0xe1001000-0xe10010ff ir q 10 at device 14.0 on pci0 rl0: Realtek 8139B detected.

I can manually set them using ifconfig to use 100baseTX, etc, but they are NOT very happy in 100mbit mode, nor will they work in full duplex. (This evidence is supported by me looking at the LEDs that are illuminated on the switch). In FreeBSD 4.0 to 4.7-STABLE this has never been a problem. Why is the driver broken in 5.0? We are going backwards now? ;) I simply cannot make any realtek cards work. My only other cards are crappy old NE2000 compatibles (ISA's!) that are laying around, and haven't been used in a few years. And yeah, they are only 10mbit :/ What is going on? I really want to start upgrading to 5.0 (There are no other issues, and some people i know have been running 5.0-CURRENT ever since work on 5.0 began).
