My guess is that this is a bug in the Realtek 8111E driver. This Ethernet on MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard also fails on OpenBSD 5.3 LiveUSB but succeeds on NetBSD-current (6.99.23) amd64 ,and Linux from the System Rescue CD written to USB stick. I had this problem with 9.2 prerelease, so it apparently hasn't been fixed for 10.0. Should I file a PR? Tom
