Works for me(TM).

%ifconfig
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::200:b4ff:fe91:c482%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255
        ether 00:00:b4:91:c4:82
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

Is this the same problem as "rl media detect failure during boot"?
