| During boot, i get the following:
| 

[snip]

| 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).

I found that if I tried to specify any media or mediaopt options to ifconfig
that the RL's would refuse to find carrier (das blinkenlights on the switch).

Lines like the following simply don't work;

ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 media auto mediaopt full-duplex"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex"

whether you specify auto or specify a media.

However, if I just leave the card alone;

ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0"

It will come up by itself in 100BaseTX full-duplex on its own first time
every time.

It's something to try at least I suppose.
