I had a problem with 'watchdog timeout' on my notebook after disabling acpi (and I had to disable it because when enabled my touchpad wouldn't work) everytime dhclient started. I searched on google and found out, that not setting media type of your interface could cause a problem. I simply put the appropriate line in dhclient.conf setting my card's media to 100baseTX and it worked out of hand. I see in your ifconfig that you have 'autoselect' in rl0. Try setting it to 10baseT/UTP or 100baseTX before enabling the interface. I am not sure whether it's possible in rc.conf, but you could write a little script for instance and put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. The script could be something like this: #!/bin/sh ifconfig rl0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex ifconfig inet ... I hope this helps. Cheers, Radek
