My problem is certainly brand dependent. The above card is okay.
The following card (static IP) has the media detect failure (during
boot).

rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255
        inet6 fe80::24f:4eff:fe04:be58%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:4f:4e:04:be:58
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
