  I pulled the cable from a SMC de0 card and put it back on. All link
lights, etc came nicely back on but the OS thought that:
de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 194.111.122.123 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 194.111.122.127
        inet 194.111.122.121 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 194.111.122.127
        ether 00:00:c0:ca:41:f9 
        media: 100baseTX <full-duplex> status: no carrier

After I re-ifconfiged it:
ifconfig de0 inet 194.111.122.121  netmask 255.255.255.248 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

It came up nicely:
# ifconfig de0
de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 194.111.122.121 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 194.111.122.127
        ether 00:00:c0:ca:41:f9 
        media: 100baseTX <full-duplex> status: active

At the failure it logged:
de0: link down: cable problem?

And at ifconfig:
de0: enabling 100baseTX port
de0: enabling Full Duplex 100baseTX port


The system is:
FreeBSD lab2.sms.fi 2.2-STABLE FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE #0: Tue Oct 14 16:40:48 EEST 1997     root@lab2.sms.fi:/usr/src/sys/compile/LAB  i386

Other than that, I really like the new de0 driver.
