Decided to make a fresh install with 9.1-RELEASE i386. - Started install: onboard LAN died. Switch won't light up the 1GB light and re0 cannot get IP from DHCP. (onboard NIC, Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet) - Did ton of reinstalls, tried tricks with bios, ifconfig etc. - Finally tested amd64 version of the 9.1-RELEASE, lights from LAN-port died and even switch won't show a light telling the cable is there. - i386 and amd64 versions both keep on telling that the status is "no carrier" while cable is just like it has always been. - Decided to install Windows Vista home premium, but Windows kept telling "device cannot start (code 10)", but after installing latest Realtek-drivers the LAN came back to life. Everything works perfectly and 1GB light is showing at the switch. - Tried reinstalling 9.1-RELEASE i386: LAN died again. - Took uname -a - Installed Vista and latest drivers again, LAN came alive again. - Started installing 8.4-RELEASE i386: LAN works like a charm. Seems there is a problem with the re driver in 9.1-RELEASE. I asked help for my problems at the freebsd-forums.
