ifconfig re0 media 10baset or 100baset always returns error, so there 
doesn't seem to be anyway of forcing the media type.

i never got re(4) working, and the patch i'm currently using forces the use 
of rl(4) instead of using re(4). using rl(4) still shows media as none, but 
it works the way it should with packets going in and out. i've yet to try 
dag-erling's suggestion of disabling rx and tx checksums. i'll also try 
with the patch you sent it to see if that works.
