My SMP (2x886 MHz PIII) "build" machine has a RealTek 8129 NIC; I generally
track -CURRENT (on slice 4) on a daily basis. Until yesterday (08 Sep,
as I write this), it had worked adequately for my purposes.
After the build & reboot yesterday (and again today), the NIC does not
seem to have been probed during the boot process. However, pciconf
sees and recognizes it OK; here's its output (cut/paste, since all I
have is a serial console for access to the machine while I'm running
-CURRENT):

Now, I realize that there's a new re(4) driver; I have yet to see what
changes might have caused a lack of probing, though. I don't really
know a good way to show the lack of something during boot, though, so
I've cut/pasted the rfelevant content of /var/lg/messages. I figured
that if I posted that here, though, that postmaster@ might have an
averse reaction [1], so it's at
http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/debug/boot-v.txt for your
viewing pleasure.
The kernel configuration is nearby, at

Sorry to be so clueless; thanks in advance for hints.
Note 1: Familiarity with, if not appreciation of, the plot for
"Iolanthe" helps in understanding this.
Peace,
david
