First I did 'ifconfig re0' - it showed status as "no carrier". after 'ifconfig re0 up' it showed status as "active". I had the same problem when installing FreeBSD 7.0-beta4. I believe this problem is related specifically to some re0 nics, mine is a: tingo@kg-vm$ pciconf -lv | grep -B4 ethernet re0@pci2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x81aa1043 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor' device = 'RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC' class = network subclass = ethernet Perhaps this workaround should be mentioned in the errata if it isn't fixed before release?
