I tried to reproduce those problems on FreeBSD 6.2R.
1. I was not able to reproduce the first problem with sporadic hangs at
boot. However I have not tested the laptop for long enough period.
2. I was not able to reproduce the panic on 'halt -p'. This problem
seems to be fixed.
3. I WAS able to reproduce the last problem with cvsup & "re0: watchdog
timeout". But there is a difference in the behaviour. Now when
watchdog timeouts appear on the screen, the network is still usable.
The cvsup does not finish successfully. When I tried csup, there also
was a problem with watchdog timeouts, however the csup doesn't seem
to block itself and it finishes its job successfully.
The problems are definitely less serious than in FreeBSD 5.2.1R.
