>Description:
On bootup, the "de0" ethernet interface is unusable. I must delete
the interface and recreate it w/ "ifconfig", then it is usable.
I believe the actual Ethernet card is the SMC Etherpower 10/100 PCI.
It is operating in 10 Mbps mode.
Routed does not see the interface, nor does the "route" command.
Yes, it's a recompiled kernel, but I checked with kernel.GENERIC and
the problem exists there too.
>How-To-Repeat:
Below is info I thought might be useful. It shows the initial state
via netstat and ifconfig and the commands I use to get the interface
in a working state. Really, this is a workaround, not a fix.
I've also included the /etc/rc.conf file. None of the other /etc/rc*
files are modified.

>Fix:
only the workaround shown above:
ifconfig de0 delete
ifconfig de0 205.180.26.179 netmask 255.255.255.248
Then the interface is reachable.
