If you're running version which supports 'media' flags to the interface,
then manually run ifconfig to select the proper media (de driver tries
autoselecting other media in case of link failure, and doesn't autosense
when the proper link goes up again). If not, try doing ifconfig de0 down,
then up - at least this helps in my case...
