Any suggestions as to what should be done? Is the rl driver in your kernel? If it isn't try loading it from the command line with 'kldload /modules/if_rl.ko'. If that works, you need to either add 'device rl' to your kernel configuration and build a new kernel or add 'rl_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf. -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.
