I have an sk0 too on one of my computer's onboard A8V-DX which will timeout=
=20
once in a while too.  I found a way to reduce down time by modifying my=20
rc.conf to force 'full-duplex 100Mbps'.  Now, even when it goes into a=20
watchdog timeout, I quickly get back my link within that second.

This is what my rc.conf line looks like:

ifconfig_sk0=3D"inet 192.168.1.100 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex net=
mask=20
255.255.255.0"
