I have 4.8-STABLE cvsupped on Sunday, Aug 18 and it works fine, but
machine with 3C905B-TX often boots with message there is no media
connected to the card and of course there is no network connectivity.
ifconfig say the media is hw-loopback. This hardware is running FreeBSD
for some years and there were no problems earlier. Reboot once or
twice makes it going fine. When system can't see media LED on switch also
goes off.
