Much of the changes is adding recognition code for the new parts. If you can't cvsup to -stable, I would grab the RELENG_4 versions of those two modules from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/. I have a friend in California that fixed his system by just replacing the modules on his system and building a new system. Once he updated his system, he didn't have any problems using the rl driver.
