Read /usr/src/sys/pci/if_rl.c (begin comments from the driver developer)
and you'll understand all...:-) RealTek-based cards (SMC1211TX, Accton
and RealTek itself) working at 100Mb terrible! When they stand on two
server of "my" network, these servers often made a reboots or simply
loose the connect each other (were connected by crossover UTP5). Atfer
change to Intel EtherExpress Pro/100+ all these symptoms disappeared.
