 We're on 5.3BETA7 now, and this problem persists. The internal RT8139C+
 on my Compaq Presario 900 is complete unusable.
 
 Not only do I get the watchog timeouts and random panics at shutdown, but
 often the loopback test fails and the driver doesn't attach.Obviously, I'm
 not on a 64bit bus, so this test should not fail.
 
 Turning off ACPI does not seem to correct the problem, but I'm not certain that
 it rules it out as a source.
 
 I know many others have also reported this problem on freebsd-current. I have
 personally sent several messages to Bill Paul (maintainer) about the issue, but
 have never recieved a response.
