I can't actually manually ifconfig it either, it comes up the first time fine, but I can wedge my machine with a few large transfers. I got a couple of hints via email about crappy RealTek errata and I spent an hour squinting at the diffs between -stable where it works flawlessly, and -current, but could not see anything that was related. But I'm lousy at drivers. I was actually pondering whether to ditch the idea of using the on-board rl, and switch to a wifi card or something else, since it's back in -stable now, and this is an acpi only laptop.
