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
