   I tested 2.2.2-RELEASE box with latest de driver[1].

  I use 100BASE-T(half duplex) about two months, there are no
problem.  

  I think Auto sense mode has some problem(1997/10/20 version of
if_de).  I set statically 100baseTX via ifconfig link option as
below.

ifconfig_de0="inet 131.113.y.z  netmask 255.255.255.0 link0 link1 -link2"
